Polish prefers to include as many consonants as possible in the onset of a syllable.
Vowel Centering
Each syllable must contain a vowel sound.
Avoidance of Single-Letter Syllables
Polish generally avoids syllables consisting of a single consonant.
- The palatalization of consonants before 'i' (e.g., 'lʲ') is a key feature of Polish phonology.
- The diphthong 'au' is treated as a single syllable nucleus.
- Liaison between syllables can occur, but doesn't affect the core syllabification.
