Vowel Grouping

Vowel clusters are separated into syllables (e.g., 'a-ta-car').

Consonant-Vowel

Syllables are formed around a vowel, with consonants preceding or following it (e.g., 'con-', '-ta-').

Final Consonant Clusters

Consonant clusters at the end of a word are usually broken up, with the last consonant forming a separate syllable (e.g., '-mos').

Penultimate Stress

Stress falls on the penultimate syllable if the word ends in a vowel, 'n', or 's' and has the written accent on that syllable.

  • The pronunciation of 'r' can vary regionally, but this does not affect syllabification.
  • The enclitic pronoun '-te-' is always attached to the verb and syllabified as part of it.
