Each vowel sound generally forms the nucleus of a separate syllable (e.g., 'mu-nist-isk').

Sonority Sequencing Principle

Syllables are structured to follow the sonority sequencing principle, decreasing sonority from the nucleus to the onset and coda.

  • The long vowel /uː/ in 'kommunistisk' is typical and doesn't affect syllabification.
