Word Parts
Onset Maximization
Polish prefers to include as many consonants as possible in the onset of a syllable.
Avoidance of Single-Letter Syllables
Syllables consisting of a single vowel are generally avoided.
Vowel-Based Division
When consonant clusters are too complex for the onset, syllables are divided between vowels.
- The pronunciation of 'ł' as [w] influences the phonetic transcription but not the syllabification.
- The complex consonant clusters require careful consideration to avoid incorrect syllable breaks.
