I have a few questions to ask here:

1. Why is the vowel diagram shaped in a trapezoidal shape in the IPA
chart?

2. could a language exist wihout syllabic rules, do syllables have to
exist in a language?

3. What's the difference between a syllable break ([.]) and any other
break?

4. Why isn't the onset part of the rhyme in a syllable?
