Vowel-centric Syllabification
Each vowel sound forms the nucleus of a syllable.
Consonant Cluster Handling
Consonant clusters are maintained unless naturally splittable based on sonority.
Digraph Preservation

- The 'rs' and 'ng' clusters are treated as single units.
- Schwa reduction in unstressed syllables is common and can affect pronunciation but not syllabification.
