Vowel Break Rule

Syllables are generally divided between vowels, following the principle of maximizing onsets.

Sonority Hierarchy Rule

Consonant clusters are resolved based on sonority, favoring the division between sounds with differing sonority levels.

  • The 'ț' sound is a Romanian-specific affricate and requires specific phonetic knowledge.
  • The 'gi' cluster is a common initial consonant cluster and doesn't pose a syllabification challenge.
