Consonant Clusters

Vowel Hiatus/Diphthongs

Italian favors open syllables, and vowel combinations are analyzed for diphthongs or hiatus.

Penultimate Stress

Words ending in a vowel, -n, or -s generally have stress on the penultimate syllable.

Suffix Boundaries

Suffixes are generally separated into their own syllables.

  • The diminutive suffix '-lette-' is unusually long and contains a geminate consonant, but this doesn't alter the syllabification rules.
  • Regional variations in pronunciation might affect vowel quality, but not syllable division.
