Vowel-Consonant Separation

Syllables are generally divided between vowels and consonants.

Diphthong/Triphthong Resolution

Diphthongs and triphthongs are treated as a single vowel sound within a syllable.

Stress Placement

Stress falls on the penultimate syllable when a word ends in a vowel, 'n', or 's' (and is not marked with an accent). Accent marks indicate deviations from this rule.

  • The 'rr' digraph requires a trilled 'r' pronunciation.
  • The consonant cluster 'str' is permissible but can be challenging for learners.
