Sonority Sequencing Principle

Syllables are formed to maximize sonority, with vowels as nuclei.

Consonant Cluster Resolution

Consonant clusters are broken up to create permissible onsets and codas.

Vowel-Initial Syllables

Each vowel typically begins a new syllable.

Maximizing Onsets

Russian tends to prefer syllables with consonant onsets.

  • The geminate 'нн' is treated as a single syllable due to progressive assimilation and the word's overall flow.
  • Vowel reduction in unstressed syllables is a key feature of Russian pronunciation, but doesn't affect syllabification.
