Word Parts
Onset Maximization
Polish favors maximizing the number of consonants in the onset of a syllable, leading to complex consonant clusters at the beginning of syllables.
Avoidance of Single-Letter Syllables
Syllables consisting of a single vowel are generally avoided, prompting the inclusion of consonants where possible.
Vowel-Based Division
When consonant clusters are too complex for an onset, syllables are divided based on vowel boundaries.
- The presence of nasal vowels (/ɛ̃/, /ɔ̃/) influences syllabic structure.
- Palatalized consonants (/t͡ɕ/, /d͡ʑ/) are treated as single units within syllables.
- The instrumental case ending (-m) must be included in the final syllable.
