Onset Maximization

Consonant clusters are included in the onset of a syllable whenever possible.

Each syllable must contain a vowel sound.

Diphthong Syllabification

Diphthongs are treated as a single vowel sound within a syllable.

  • The compound nature of the word requires careful consideration of morpheme boundaries.
  • The 'r' sound's variability (alveolar vs. uvular) doesn't significantly impact syllabification.
  • Regional variations in pronunciation might slightly alter the phonetic realization of vowels, but not the core syllabification.
