- The presence of nasal vowels ('ę', 'ą') requires careful consideration, but they are generally treated as part of the following syllable.
- Complex consonant clusters are common in Polish and are generally kept intact within a syllable.
- Palatalization of consonants can affect pronunciation but does not alter the syllabification.
