Vowel Nucleus Rule

Syllables are formed around vowel sounds. Each syllable must have a vowel nucleus.

Consonant Cluster Rule

Consonant clusters are generally maintained within a syllable unless they are easily separable by a vowel boundary.

  • Regional variations in pronunciation of 'g' and 'sch' sounds do not affect syllabification.
  • Compound word pronunciation can involve vowel reduction in unstressed syllables, but syllabification remains consistent based on the written form.
