Syllables and Segments

Our goal is assembling a comprehensive database on the typology of syllables in the world's languages. We detail for each entry language aspects of its phonological system relevant for the structure of its syllables -- phonemic inventory, syllable shapes, including the details of segment distribution across syllable internal positions, syllable weight, tone and stress systems, etc. We are currently developing cross-linguistic typologies of syllabic consonants and syllable codas.
