Onset Maximization
Polish prefers to include as many consonants as possible in the onset of a syllable, as seen in 'ziel-' and 'niebieski-'.
Avoidance of Single-Consonant Syllables
Syllable division avoids leaving single consonants as syllable nuclei, ensuring each syllable has a vowel or sonorant.
Vowel-Centric Syllables
Each syllable contains a vowel (or a sonorant acting as a syllable nucleus).
- The consonant clusters (e.g., 'nz', 'nk', 'mb') required careful consideration to avoid creating illegal syllable structures.
- The nasal vowel /ɔŋ/ in 'on' influences the syllable division.
- Palatalization of consonants affects the phonetic realization but not the core syllable division.
