Maximizing Onsets

Palatalization

Palatalized consonants form their own syllable onset.

  • The palatalization of consonants influences syllable division.
  • Vowel reduction in unstressed syllables does not affect the written syllable division.
  • The word's length and complex morphology require careful application of multiple syllabification rules.
