Latin

=== Syllables ===
[[Syllable]]s in Latin are signified by the presence of diphthongs and [[vowel]]s. The number of syllables is the same as the number of vowel sounds.<ref name="Wheelock 7th ed." />

Further, if a consonant separates two vowels, it will go into the syllable of the second vowel. When there are two consonants between vowels, the last consonant will go with the second vowel. An exception occurs when a [[Phonetic transcription|phonetic]] stop and liquid come together. In this situation, they are thought to be a single consonant, and as such, they will go into the syllable of the second vowel.<ref name="Wheelock 7th ed." />

==== Length ====
Syllables in Latin are considered either [[Syllable weight#Basic definitions|long or short]] (less often called "heavy" and "light" respectively). Within a word, a syllable may either be long by nature or long by position.<ref name="Wheelock 7th ed." /> A syllable is long by nature if it has a diphthong or a long vowel. On the other hand, a syllable is long by position if the vowel is followed by more than one consonant.<ref name="Wheelock 7th ed." />

==== Stress ====
There are two rules that define which syllable is [[Stress (linguistics)|stressed]] in Classical Latin.<ref name="Wheelock 7th ed." />

# In a word with only two syllables, the emphasis will be on the first syllable.
# In a word with more than two syllables, there are two cases.
#* If the second-to-last syllable is long, that syllable will have stress.
#* If the second-to-last syllable is not long, the syllable before that one will be stressed instead.<ref name="Wheelock 7th ed." />
