Syllables are formed around vowel nuclei. Each syllable must contain at least one vowel sound.

Consonant Cluster Rule

Consonant clusters are generally maintained within a syllable unless they are exceptionally complex or violate phonotactic constraints.

Avoid Diphthong Splitting

Diphthongs are not split across syllable boundaries.

  • The pronunciation of 'g' can vary regionally, but this doesn't affect syllabification.
  • The 'sch' and 'ng' clusters are common and pose no syllabification challenges.
  • The 'ge-' prefix can be reduced in pronunciation, but its syllabic weight is maintained.
