Onset Maximization

Consonant clusters (e.g., 'ts', 'kr') are kept together in the onset of a syllable to maximize syllable complexity.

Vowel Peak

Each syllable contains a vowel sound, forming the nucleus of the syllable.

Sonority Sequencing

Syllable structure follows the sonority sequencing principle, with sounds decreasing in sonority from the nucleus outwards.

  • Regional variations in the pronunciation of 'r' (trill vs. retroflex approximant) do not affect syllable division.
  • The compound nature of the word requires consideration of morpheme boundaries, but syllable division follows phonological rules.
