Romanian favors syllables ending in vowels, leading to divisions like 'fo-no'.

Vowel-Consonant-Vowel (VCV) Division

Syllables are often divided between vowels, as seen in 'na-lis'.

Consonant Cluster Break

Consonant clusters are broken up based on sonority, but common initial clusters are kept together.

  • The 'cr' cluster is a common initial cluster in Romanian and doesn't require special treatment.
  • The suffix '-istică' is a relatively long suffix, but its internal structure doesn't pose a syllabification challenge.
