Onset Maximization

Consonant clusters are kept together in the onset of a syllable (e.g., 'fr-' in 'fyr-').

Vowel Peak Principle

Each syllable must contain a vowel sound.

Sonority Sequencing Principle

Syllables generally follow a sonority hierarchy (vowels are more sonorous than consonants).

  • Geminate consonants ('b', 'd') are phonemically distinct and must be accurately transcribed.
  • Regional variations in the pronunciation of 'r' may slightly affect perceived syllable boundaries, but the core division remains consistent.
