Vowel Peak Principle

Each syllable must contain a vowel sound.

Onset Maximization

Consonants are preferred in the onset (beginning) of a syllable.

Avoid Diphthong Splitting

Diphthongs (like 'ie') are kept together within a single syllable.

  • The 't' sounds can be aspirated or unaspirated.
  • The final 'n' in 'ken' can be reduced or elided in rapid speech.
  • Regional variations in vowel pronunciation may exist.
