Onset Maximization

Consonant clusters are retained at the beginning of syllables whenever possible (e.g., 'kr-' in 'kring').

Vowel Sequencing

Each vowel generally forms the nucleus of a separate syllable (e.g., 'i' in 'kring', 'a' in 'kast').

Sonority Sequencing Principle

Syllables are structured to follow the sonority sequencing principle, with sounds becoming more sonorous towards the nucleus.

  • Regional variations in vowel qualities may exist, but syllable division remains consistent.
