Syllabic Consonants "l", "m", "n", and "ng'

 a syllabic consonant is a consonant that can form an entire syllable on its own, without any vowels. 

Ususally, a sillable contains a vowel. However, "l", "m", "n", and "ng" sometimes functions as syllables by themselves, without any accompanying vowel, using the /ḷ/, /m/, /ṇ/, /ŋ/ sounds.

Syllabic /ḷ/ and /ṇ/ typically occur in an unstressed syllable immediately following the alveolar consonants, /t/, /s/, /z/, as well as /d/.

Examples:
bottle /ˈbɑ:tḷ/, cattle /ˈkætḷ/
cotton /ˈkɑ:tṇ;/, button /ˈbʌtṇ/.
listen /ˈlɪsṇ/, fasten /ˈfæsṇ/
risen /ˈrɪzṇ/, prison /ˈprɪzṇ/
saddle /ˈsædḷ/, poodle /ˈpu:dḷ/
sadden /ˈsædṇ/, burden /ˈbɚdṇ/

Syllabic /ḷ/ can also follow /st/ or plain /n/ or /nt/

Examples:
pistol /ˈpɪstḷ/
tunnel /ˈtʌnḷ/
mantle /ˈmæntḷ/

The symbol /ə/ preceding the consonant "m" does not itself represent a sound. It signifies instead that the following consonant ("m") is syllabic; that is, the consonant itself forms the nucleus of a syllable that does not contain a vowel.

Examples:
feudalism /ˈfju:dəˌlɪzəm/
heroism /ˈherəˌwɪzəm/

When the "–ING" suffix is added to a verb with a syllabic consonant, the syllabic consonant may either be retained as such or it simply becomes the initial consonant of the extra syllable.

Examples:
Listening /ˈlɪsṇɪŋ/
going /ˈgowɪŋ/
