Maximize Onsets

Consonant clusters are generally kept together at the beginning of a syllable (e.g., 'st' in 'ste').

Vowel Sequences

Sonority Sequencing Principle

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

  • The 'rs' cluster does not present a significant challenge in syllabification.
  • Regional variations in vowel quality are minor and do not affect the core syllabification.
