Does this tool count syllables in English only?

Yes our syllable counter is primarily built around the English language.

Syllables and the wider science of speech sounds is a very complex area, and brings plenty of challenges. After all, whether a word is a monosyllable, disyllable, trisyllable or a polysyllable, the evolution in the early written languages from pictograms to syllables has actually been referred to as the most important advance in the history of writing. source

Happy wordsmithing - Matt
