Vowel Separation

Vowels between consonants are separated into distinct syllables (e.g., 'de-sa').

Consonant Cluster Separation

Consonant clusters are split based on sonority, prioritizing the creation of open syllables where possible (e.g., 'tor-ni').

Final 'n' Rule

A single 'n' at the end of a syllable is carried over to the next syllable if it's followed by a vowel (e.g., 'lla-sen').

  • The pronunciation of 'll' varies regionally (as /ʎ/ or /ʝ/), but does not affect syllabification.
  • The 's' before 't' is a common consonant cluster in Spanish and doesn't pose a syllabification challenge.
