The C standard doesn't dictate the size of any integer type, except that char must be large enough to hold the environments standard character set and the size of any larger types is ordered as you'd expect. char <= short <= int <= long int is typically the natural word size for the architecture, but often on 8 bit micros it will be larger (since char typically provides an 8 bit int anyway.)
