Vowel-Centered Syllabification

Spanish syllables are primarily formed around vowels, with each vowel typically constituting the nucleus of a syllable.

Consonant Cluster Resolution

Consonant clusters are broken according to the principle of maximizing onsets (placing consonants at the beginning of syllables whenever possible).

Penultimate Stress Rule

Words ending in vowels, 'n', or 's' are stressed on the penultimate syllable unless an acute accent indicates otherwise.

  • The 'rz' cluster is pronounced as /θ/ in most dialects, but the syllabification respects the orthography.
  • Regional variations in the pronunciation of 'z' and 'c' (before 'e' or 'i') as /s/ instead of /θ/ may occur.
