Vowel Nucleus Rule

Every vowel sound constitutes the nucleus of a syllable.

Nasal Vowel Preservation

Syllable breaks do not occur within nasal vowel sequences (e.g., 'an', 'en').

  • Liaison with following vowel sounds is possible but doesn't affect syllabification.
  • Stress is generally on the final syllable, but a weaker stress may be present on the penultimate syllable in longer words.
