Maximize Onsets
Consonant clusters (tr, ld, ms, fr, lar) are kept together at the beginning of a syllable whenever possible.
Vowel Sequences
Each vowel generally forms a separate syllable, although diphthongs are treated as a single vowel sound within a syllable.
Sonority Sequencing Principle
Syllables are structured to follow the sonority sequencing principle, with a peak of sonority (usually a vowel) surrounded by less sonorous sounds.
- The /ld/ cluster could potentially be broken up with an epenthetic schwa in some dialects, but the standard pronunciation does not include this.
- Regional variations in vowel quality might exist, but the core syllable structure remains consistent.
