Onset Maximization
Consonant clusters at the beginning of syllables are maintained where possible (e.g., 'ad', 'mis').
Avoid Stranded Consonants
Consonants are not left alone at the end of a syllable without a following vowel (e.g., 'non', 'ble').
Vowel-Centric Syllables
Each syllable generally contains a vowel sound, forming the nucleus of the syllable.
Syllabic Consonant
The consonant /l/ can function as a syllable nucleus in unstressed positions (e.g., 'ble').
- The schwa /ə/ is common in unstressed syllables, contributing to the overall pronunciation.
- Regional variations in pronunciation may affect the realization of certain vowels or consonants, but the core syllable division remains consistent.
