Sonority Sequencing Principle

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

Onset-Rime Structure

Syllables are divided into an onset (initial consonant(s)) and a rime (vowel and following consonants).

Consonant Cluster Maintenance

Consonant clusters are generally maintained within a syllable unless easily separable.

  • Double consonants (nn, jj, dd) are not broken across syllable boundaries.
  • The 'gj' consonant cluster is treated as a single unit.
  • Regional variations in pronunciation might slightly affect syllable boundaries, but the core division remains consistent.
