Onset Maximization
Consonant clusters are prioritized at the beginning of syllables (e.g., 'spenn', 'bt' in 'betong').
Avoidance of Syllable-Final Clusters
Consonant clusters are broken up at the end of syllables when possible to create more balanced syllable structures (e.g., 'tong-ge').
Vowel-Centric Syllables
Each syllable generally contains a vowel sound, forming the nucleus of the syllable.
- The 'ng' sound /ŋ/ could potentially be considered syllable-closing, but is integrated into the preceding syllable in this case.
- Regional variations in vowel pronunciation might exist, but do not significantly alter the syllabification.
