A consonant is a speech sound that's not a vowel. The sound of a consonant is produced by a partial or complete obstruction of the air stream by a constriction of the speech organs. In writing, a consonant is any letter of the alphabet except a, e, i, o, u, and sometimes y.
Define syllable. 1  A syllable is the sound of a vowel (A, E, I, O, U) that is created when pronouncing the letters A, E, I, O, U, or Y. 2  The letter Y is a vowel only if it creates an A, E, I, O, or U sound. 3  When two (or more) vowels are next to each other, the number of syllables depends on the number of vowel sounds.
