Onset Maximization

Polish prefers to include as many consonants as possible in the onset of a syllable.

Avoidance of Stranded Consonants

Consonants are generally not left at the end of a syllable unless necessary due to vowel sequences.

Vowel-Based Division

Syllables are typically divided around vowels.

  • The complex consonant cluster '-dziesięcio-' requires careful application of onset maximization rules.
  • The presence of the nasal vowel /ɛ̃/ is a characteristic feature of Polish and doesn't affect syllabification.
