In Phonology , a syllable coda comprises the Consonant sounds of a Syllable that follow the Nucleus , which is usually a Vowel . The combination of a nucleus and a coda is called a Rime . A coda is not required in syllables. Some languages' Phonotactics , like that of Japanese , limit syllable codas to a small group of single consonants, whereas others, like English can have any consonant or even Clusters Of Consonants in syllable codas.
