Is there a list of syllables contained in US English?

I'm trying to find a list of all syllables (ideally just syllables that appear at the start of words in english).

Any suggestions?

A list is available here, which states:

There is a good chance that most, though probably not quite all, legitimate syllables are represented below.

The grand total: 15,831 syllable candidates. Far too many to make a syllabary worth the trouble.

A list of the 322 most common syllables in the 5,000 most frequent English words can be found at:

www.justreadflorida.com/docs/manual/

see page 35-36.

These are taken from prior research by Sakiey & Martin

Perhaps this will help.

We are developing a new note-taking/shorthand system called Dash (r) that incorporates special signs for common syllables. John Klein - [email protected]
