We'd like to remind readers that the responses to queries are usually
best posted to the individual asking the question. That individual is
then strongly encouraged to post a summary to the list. This policy was
instituted to help control the huge volume of mail on LINGUIST; so we
would appreciate your cooperating with it whenever it seems appropriate.

In addition to posting a summary, we'd like to remind people that it
is usually a good idea to personally thank those individuals who have
taken the trouble to respond to the query.

Hi,

Does anybody know of a comprehensive list/inventory of all syllables in
American English, on the Web or any other source?

The syllables list should be in normal English Orthography, but should
reflect Phonetics, not Morphology.

For example, the word syllable should yield the syllables:  
-sy
-lla
-ble

and 'accessible' should yield
a
cce
ssi
ble

I've been searching the Internet, but all I found was articles about it,
not the list I hoped to find. 

I need this kind of list for a research I am doing for a company I'm
employed in (for a Text-To-Speech engine).

Thank you very much for your help!!
Doron
