Vowel Peak

Syllables are built around vowel sounds, forming the nucleus of each syllable.

Consonant Clusters

Consonant clusters are generally maintained within a syllable unless they are exceptionally complex.

Avoid Diphthong Splitting

Diphthongs are not split across syllable boundaries.

Prefix/Suffix Separation

Prefixes and suffixes are generally treated as separate syllables if they contain a vowel.

  • The final -en suffix can sometimes be considered a separate syllable, but is often attached to the preceding syllable in longer words.
  • Regional variations in vowel pronunciation may exist, but do not significantly alter the syllabification.
