Onset Maximization
Polish prefers to maximize the number of consonants in the onset of a syllable, as seen in 'dwu', 'dzie', 'sto', 'sześć', 'tni'.
Avoid Stranded Consonants
Consonants are generally not left at the end of a syllable unless they form a permissible cluster, as seen in 'ego'.
Vowel-Based Division
Syllables are primarily divided around vowels, with each vowel typically forming the nucleus of a syllable.
- The 'szcz' cluster is treated as a single unit for syllabification.
- Palatalization of consonants (e.g., 'dź', 'tń') influences syllable structure.
- Vowel reduction in unstressed syllables is common but doesn't affect the orthographic syllable division.
