Re: Why is William labeled as having 2 syllables?
in reply to a message by jonesilove
Where are you from? I've never heard it pronounced as 3 distinct syllables.
I think the Y in "Will-yum" can be a semivowel (so the ee would be slightly more emphasized but doesn't count as a syllable). I've heard it that way occasionally.
