Vowel Sequences

Each vowel generally forms a separate syllable (e.g., 'ia' in 'sia').

Sonority Sequencing Principle

Syllables tend to follow a sonority hierarchy, with vowels being more sonorous than consonants.

  • The 'j' sound is a palatal approximant and is part of the syllable onset.
  • Regional variations in vowel pronunciation may exist, but do not affect syllable division.
  • The word is a relatively fixed compound, so syllabification and stress remain consistent.
