Vowel Nucleus Rule

Syllables are formed around vowel nuclei. Each syllable must contain a vowel sound.

Consonant Cluster Rule

Consonant clusters are generally broken before vowels, creating separate syllables.

Closed Syllable Rule

A syllable can be closed by a consonant.

  • Vowel reduction in unstressed syllables affects pronunciation but not syllable division.
  • Palatalization of consonants before front vowels influences phonetic realization but doesn't alter syllabic structure.
