Maximize Onsets

Consonant clusters are kept together at the beginning of a syllable whenever possible (e.g., 'sp' in 'spi').

Vowel Nucleus

Sonority Sequencing

Syllable structure follows sonority sequencing principles, with a gradual decrease in sonority from the onset to the coda.

  • The 'sp' cluster is a common initial consonant cluster and doesn't pose a significant challenge to syllabification.
  • Regional variations in vowel pronunciation may exist, but do not fundamentally alter the syllable division.
