Syllables are typically divided between vowels.

Consonant Clusters

Consonant clusters are maintained within a syllable if permitted by Italian phonotactics (e.g., 'lz', 'st').

Affricates

Affricates (like 't͡s') generally form their own syllable onset.

  • The augmentative suffix '-zze-' doesn't significantly alter the syllabification.
  • Italian allows for certain consonant clusters at the beginning of syllables that might not be permitted in other languages.
