Onset-Rime
Each syllable consists of an onset (consonant(s) at the beginning) and a rime (vowel and any following consonants). Consonants are assigned to the onset whenever possible without violating Polish phonotactics.
Maximizing Onsets
Consonants are preferred in the onset position, leading to consonant clusters at the beginning of syllables.
- Consonant clusters are common in Polish and require careful application of onset-rime principles.
- Regional variations in pronunciation of 'ł' (as 'w') may occur.
