Final

The final sound is the last sound of a word or syllable . The syllable-ending consonants after a syllable peak form the syllable coda (from Italian coda for tail . Also: coda , end edge , syllable ending ); the sound group that forms the syllable coda is sometimes simply called the final sound . The sequence and maximum number of consonants are restricted. The restriction applies both to individual languages from the point of view of phonotactics and universally because of the sonority hierarchy .

Components of the syllable

The coda, together with the head of the syllable , the left margin, forms the syllable bowl . Syllable head, syllable core and syllable coda together form the syllable rhyme .

The final sound is a medially or directly to the initial sound follow: So [n] is in the word "may" after medially; in "an" after the initial sound.
