Open Syllable Principle

Russian favors syllables ending in vowels. Syllables are formed to maximize the number of open syllables.

Sonority Hierarchy

Consonants are grouped based on their sonority, with more sonorous consonants tending to form syllable peaks.

Consonant Cluster Resolution

Consonant clusters are broken up according to the sonority hierarchy, with the vowel following the most sonorous consonant.

  • Vowel reduction (akan'ye/ikan'ye) affects pronunciation but not syllabification.
  • The 'вн' cluster is a potential point of variation, but the standard syllabification places the vowel after the 'в'.
