"sudden" 1 syllable or 2?

It sounds like a dipthong thing but I'm not sure. Any help? Thanks!

Update:

Thank you! I thought it was 2 but I had to ask...

    Definitely 2. One would make it sound like "sun."

    By the very nature of the way you have to say the word, it's 2 syllables. It's impossible to pronounce sudden as one.

    2. You can judge by the amount of verb sounds in a word. Sudden has two, the 'uh' (U) and the 'eh (E).
