Onset-Rime Division

Syllables are divided between onset (initial consonant sounds) and rime (vowel and following consonants). Consonant clusters are generally maintained within the onset.

Vowel-Coda Division

Syllables are divided after vowels, separating the vowel from any following consonants (the coda).

  • German syllabification allows for some flexibility with consonant clusters, but the principle of maximizing onsets is generally followed.
  • The /ʁ/ sound can vary regionally, but this doesn't affect the syllable division.
