Word Parts
Onset-Rime
Syllables are divided based on the sonority hierarchy, with consonants forming the onset and vowels forming the nucleus (rime).
Consonant Clusters
Consonant clusters are maintained within the onset if phonotactically permissible.
Vowel Hiatus
When two vowels appear consecutively, they typically form separate syllables.
Pronoun Clitics
Pronoun clitics are attached to the verb and syllabified as part of it.
- The 'ct' cluster requires careful articulation.
- The enclitic pronoun 'vos' is always syllabified with the verb.
- Regional variations in vowel pronunciation (Brazilian vs. European Portuguese) may affect phonetic realization but not necessarily syllabification.
