Sonority Sequencing Principle
Syllables are formed around a vowel nucleus, with consonants gravitating towards the vowel based on their sonority.
Consonant Cluster Resolution
Italian allows consonant clusters, but they are generally resolved within a single syllable unless a vowel intervenes.
- The 'lv' and 'rz' clusters require careful pronunciation but don't alter the syllabification rules. The double 'zz' represents a single sound /t͡s/.
