Many European languages have significant syllabic verse traditions, notably Italian, Spanish, French, and the Baltic and Slavic languages.

Humans can perceive the number of members in a small set without actually counting them or mentally breaking them into subsets ; the upper limit of this ability is estimated at between 5 and 9 units, and this seems to hold true in sequences of audible stimuli ( e. g. syllables in a line of verse ); so it is no surprise that syllabic hemistichs tend to be very short ( typically 4 to 8 syllables ), and to be grouped — and therefore separated from their neighbors — by markers such as stress, word boundary, and rhyme.

Structurally, syllable counts are not bound by tradition, even very long lines are not divided into hemistichs, and the verse exhibits none of the markers usually found in other syllabic meters ( with the occasional exception of end-rhyme ), relying for their measure solely on total count of syllables in the line.

Further, absent the whole notion of meter as pattern, one may question whether syllabic verse is ' metrical ' at all.

So the conventional patterns of accentual and accentual-syllabic English verse are perceived as regularly rhythmic, whereas to the listener, syllabic verse generally is not distinguishable from free verse.

A number of English-language poets in the Modernist tradition experimented with syllabic verse.

This may be the case for words such as church in rhotic dialects of English, although phoneticians differ in whether they consider this to be a syllabic consonant,, or a rhotic vowel,: Some distinguish an approximant that corresponds to a vowel, for rural as or ; others see these as a single phoneme,.

This is always CV ( consonant onset with vowel nucleus ), such as ka, ki, etc., or V ( vowel ), such as a, i, etc., with the sole exception of the C grapheme for nasal codas usually romanised as n. This structure had some scholars label the system moraic instead of syllabic, because it requires the combination of two syllabograms to represent a CVC syllable with coda ( i. e. CVn, CVm, CVng ), a CVV syllable with complex nucleus ( i. e. multiple or expressively long vowels ), or a CCV syllable with complex onset ( i. e. including a glide, CyV, CwV ).

* Slavicists use the macron to indicate a non-tonic long vowel, or a non-tonic syllabic liquid, such as on l, lj, m, n, nj, and r. Languages with this feature include standard and jargon varieties of Serbo-Croatian, Macedonian, Slovene, Bulgarian.

However, some languages also allow other sounds to form the nucleus of a syllable, such as the syllabic l in the English word table ( the stroke under the l indicates that it is syllabic ; the dot separates syllables ), or the r in Serbo-Croatian vrt " garden ".

Another similar system used to write the Greek language was the Cypriot syllabary ( also a descendant of Linear A via the intermediate Cypro-Minoan syllabary ), which is closely related to Linear B but uses somewhat different syllabic conventions to represent phoneme sequences.

When necessary, vowels are indicated by diacritic marks above or below the letter representing the syllabic onset, or by use of matres lectionis, which are consonantal letters used as vowels.
