Maximize Onsets

Consonant clusters are generally kept together at the beginning of a syllable (e.g., 'op', 'po').

Vowel Quality

Syllable boundaries are often determined by changes in vowel quality.

Sonority Sequencing Principle

Syllables tend to follow a sonority hierarchy, with higher sonority elements (vowels) being the nucleus.

  • The 'sj' digraph is treated as a single phoneme /ʃ/.
  • Vowel reduction may occur in unstressed syllables, but does not affect syllable division.
  • Regional variations in pronunciation might slightly alter the phonetic realization of vowels, but not the core syllable structure.
