Vowel Rule

Syllables are generally built around vowel sounds. Each vowel sound forms the nucleus of a syllable.

Consonant Cluster Rule

Consonant clusters are maintained within a syllable unless they are complex and involve a sonorant consonant. The 'ch' and 'r' clusters are handled this way.

Final Syllable Rule

The final syllable often contains the stress and any trailing consonants. This is evident in '-rent'.

  • The pronunciation of 'r' can vary regionally, but this doesn't affect the core syllabification.
  • Liaison and elision are possible in connected speech but do not alter the underlying syllable structure.
