Onset Maximization
Consonant clusters are kept together at the beginning of a syllable (e.g., 'sp-', 'un-').
Vowel Peak Principle
Each syllable must contain a vowel sound.
Avoid Stranded Consonants
Consonants are not left alone at the end of a syllable if they can be part of an onset.
- The 'j' sound in 'spesial' can sometimes be slightly palatalized, but this doesn't affect the syllable division.
- Regional variations in pronunciation might exist, but the core syllable structure remains consistent.
