Vowel Rule

Each vowel generally forms a separate syllable.

Consonant Cluster Rule

Consonant clusters are broken up according to sonority, but often remain within a syllable if pronounceable as a unit.

Penultimate Stress Rule

Words ending in a vowel, 'n', or 's' are stressed on the penultimate syllable.

  • Liaison between 'za' and 'lhes' is common, but doesn't alter syllabification. Syllabic 'r' is a unique case requiring its own syllable. Vowel reduction in unstressed syllables is possible but doesn't affect the syllable division itself.
