Vowel-centric Syllabification
Syllables are built around vowel sounds, with each syllable containing at least one vowel.
Consonant Cluster Preservation
Consonant clusters are generally kept together within a syllable, unless they are easily separable (e.g., a single consonant between vowels).
Avoidance of Diphthong Splitting
Diphthongs are not split across syllable boundaries.
Linking 's' Rule
The linking 's' is often attached to the following syllable, especially in compound words.
- The 't' in 'stand' can be pronounced or elided depending on the speaker and regional variation, but this doesn't affect the syllabification.
- Regional variations in vowel pronunciation might slightly alter the phonetic realization, but not the syllable division.
