In computing, a '''syllable''' is a name for a platform-dependent [['''unit''' of '''information]] storage'''. Depending on the target hardware, various [[bit width]]s (and sometimes internal groupings) are associated with it. Commonly used in the 1960s and 1970s, the term has mostly fallen into disuse in favour of terms like [[byte]] or [[word (computer architecture)|word]].
