		The use of syllabic writing has the further advantage that the logograms do not have to be interpreted by the reader because the words are written out unambiguously in the phonetic script.
		Because this is syllabic writing the number of signs required to write a given utterance is the same as that for the simple syllabic system that expresses each vowel fully.
		The Akkadians, for example, adapted the syllabic portion of the Sumerian logo-syllabic system to their own language, but retained the logograms, and used them regularly as a type of shorthand (see Sumerian Language).

		Syllabic verse is a poetic form having a fixed number of syllables per line
		It is common in languages that are syllable-timed such as Japanese or modern French or Spanish, as opposed to accentual verse, which is common in stress-timed languages such as English.
		Syllabic poetry can also take a stanzaic form, as in Marianne Moore's poem "No Swan So Fine", in which the corresponding lines of each stanza have the same number of syllables.

	Syllabics and Semi-vowels

	Inuktitut Sylabics
		The syllabic writing system was meant to be mechanically printed right from the onset, and Evans actually produced crude letterpress forms with the scant materials he had available.
		The font is also the first syllabic design that rejects not only the word-recognition evolution of western typography, but the poorly adapted designs of previous Inuktitut syllabic fonts as well.
		Standardization of many aspects of syllabics are needed, including sorting methods, text processing tools as well as transcoders for the vast majority of computers that can't use Unicode and for Inuit in other regions that do not read syllabics.

	R Tsur on Comparative Metrics
		Syllabic metre would be well-suited to any language I know of, and in quite a few of them there have been relatively short periods in which the syllabic system was prevalent.
		Downright dominance of the syllabic versification system, however, is surprisingly rare in European languages, mainly in the Romance languages.
		In French, where attempts to accommodate other versification systems failed, complexity was imposed by means compatible with the syllabic system: in the French alexandrine there is an obligatory caesura after the sixth syllable, and there is a systematic alteration of "feminine" and "masculine" rhymes.

	Vowels and Consonants
		Perhaps the best are those of Pike (1943), who uses the terms vocoid and contoid for phonetic vowels and consonants respectively, and syllabic and non-syllabic for vowels and consonants in the phonological sense, from the point of view of their function in the syllable.
		Learners may avoid syllabic /l/ and /n/ by inserting a schwa vowel // to take on the syllabic function, thus enabling the /l/ and /n/ to revert to their non-syllabic role.
		Learners must therefore be alert to the presence of syllabic /l/ and /n/ if they are not to have difficulty in understanding the speech of native speakers (or indeed the speech of many non-native speakers with an L1 different from their own).

		A syllabic consonant is a consonant which either forms a syllable of its own, or is the nucleus of a syllable.
		Berber, Salish, and Wakashan languages are sometimes used to illustrate syllabic obstruents in normal vocabulary, such as Bella Coola, "northeast wind", "seal blubber", "wet", "dry", or "we () used to () sing ()".
		However, it is not clear how one would define a syllable or a syllabic nucleus in such cases, and it's therefore not clear whether any of these consonants should be considered syllabic.

	Reflexes of Indo-European Syllabic Resonants in Baltic, Slavic, Albanian - Harvey E. Mayer
		With the loss of laryngeals and schwa, their vocalic allophone, syllabic resonants tended to be replaced by vowels plus resonants.
		It is in the reflexes of syllabic nasals where Baltic differs intrinsically from Albanian and Slavic.
		All the same, traces of multiple reflexes of syllabic nasals plus other features, lexical, phonological,17 and morphological (the x, that is, h from -ks- in exati 'to ride'), show an original close Slavic tie with the ancestor of Albanian rather than with Baltic.

	Writing
		Their writing consisted of 22 syllabic signs beginning with a consonant and ending with a vowel.
		When these were added to the syllabic signs borrowed from the Semitic system, the result was to reduce the values of those syllabic signs to alphabetic signs.
		No writing could start with a syllabic or alphabetic stage unless it was borrowed from a system which had gone through the previous stages.

	Scansion
		Because syllabic meter cannot be heard in English, many writers on prosody dismiss it as a phantom relying secretly on accentual-syllabic meter.
		Since the difference between syllabic and syllable-stress meter is that syllabic meter does not count stresses, the point of using syllabics is to exploit that difference.
		Moore herself did not call her verse syllabic: she emphasized instead the construction of a stanza and spoke of her poems as made of stanzas.

	Senamirmir Projects: Interview with Dr. Getatchew Haile
		A system that has symbols for the consonants is called consonantal, and a system that has symbols for the syllables is called syllabic.
		A syllabic writing system recognizes only the syllables and creates symbols (diagrams) for each of the syllable.
		But since the English (or the Latin) writing system is not syllabic, but consonantal, it used a combination of consonant and vowel symbols to represent them.

		One way of understanding this is to imagine that a vowel has been reduced past the point of being a "schwa" to where it has no independent identity at all.
		The very small line under the phonetic symbol represents the vowel which is a part of the syllabic consonant.
		Remember that there are only these four syllabic consonants, and that each represents a reduced vowel followed by the consonant.

		Blevins (1995:220) provides a table on the parametric variation in syllabic segments, ranging from Kabardian, which only allows non high vowels as syllabic segments, to Imdlawn Tashlhiyt Berber which allows all types of segments, including fricatives and stops, to be syllabic segments.
		I would be particularly interested to hear of a language where voicing plays a role in the potential of a segment to be syllabic: if we accept a general version of the sonority hierarchy (e.g.
