Onset Maximization

Polish prefers to maximize onsets, meaning consonants are grouped with the following vowel to form the onset whenever possible.

Avoidance of Single-Consonant Syllables

Polish avoids syllables consisting of only a single consonant. Consonants are typically attached to adjacent vowels.

Vowel-Based Syllabification

Each syllable must contain a vowel nucleus.

  • The presence of nasal vowels (like 'ę') requires careful phonetic transcription.
  • Consonant clusters (like 'dz', 'ci', 'tr') are treated as single onsets.
  • The interfixes '-dzie-' and '-się-' are crucial for numeral formation and influence syllabification.
