100 Examples of Monoline Syllables

Monoline Syllables

The monoline syllables are those made up of a single letter, which necessarily in Spanish must be a vowel, (since there are no syllables composed of a single consonant). For example: AC-í

Let us remember that every word is a sound chain made up of letters (minimum units) and most of them can be pronounced insofar as they are accompanied by others in the form of syllables.

One of the first rules of hyphenation says that you can never find a syllable made up of only consonant letters. An exception to this is represented by the word 'y' (addition connector), whose only syllable is that same letter, a consonant.

There are only six monolithic syllables: the five vowel letters of the alphabet, and the consonant "y" when it sounds like "i": A, E, I, O, U, Y.

A common case of monolithic syllables occurs in the presence of hiatuses, where the syllable is divided and two autonomous syllables are formed. The syllables that are made up of more than one letter are called "polilíteras".
