#' Syllable counts of English words

#' A named integer vector of syllable counts for English words. Based on a
#' pronunciation dictionary for North American English that contains over
#' 134,000 words and their pronunciations, from the [Carnegie Mellon University
#' Pronouncing Dictionary](https://github.com/cmusphinx/cmudict).

#'   `data_syllables_en` is a data object consisting of a named numeric vector
#'   of syllable counts for the words used as names.  This is the default object
#'   used to count English syllables.  For words with multiple pronunciation
#'   variants, we use the first entry.
