Maximize Onsets
Polish syllabification prioritizes creating syllables with onsets (initial consonants) whenever possible. This is evident in the 'sz', 'd͡ʑ', and 't͡ɕ' clusters.
Avoid Stranded Consonants
Consonants are generally not left at the end of a syllable unless absolutely necessary. This rule is applied throughout the word.
Vowel-Based Division
Vowels typically form the nucleus of a syllable, and syllables are divided around them.
- The palatalized consonants (d͡ʑ, t͡ɕ) are treated as single units in syllable division.
- The nasal vowel /ɛ̃/ forms a syllable nucleus.
- Consonant clusters are common in Polish and are handled according to the maximize onsets principle.
