Vowel Nucleus Rule

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

Consonant Cluster Rule

Consonant clusters are maintained within a syllable unless they are easily separable. Avoid breaking up consonant clusters.

Diphthong Rule

Diphthongs are treated as a single vowel sound and are not split across syllables.

  • The 'r' sound can be reduced or vocalized in unstressed syllables, but it still functions as a syllable closer.
  • Schwa reduction can vary in degree depending on regional pronunciation.
