Onset Maximization
Polish syllabification prioritizes placing as many consonants as possible at the beginning of a syllable.
Avoidance of Single-Letter Syllables
Syllables consisting of a single vowel are generally avoided.
Sonority Sequencing Principle
Consonant clusters are broken down based on sonority (the degree of openness in articulation).
- The complex consonant clusters (*śr*, *niow*) require careful consideration based on Polish phonotactics.
- Vowel reduction in unstressed syllables is a common feature of Polish pronunciation, but does not affect syllabification.
