Sonority Hierarchy

Syllables are formed around a vowel nucleus, with consonants arranged according to their sonority (ability to be a syllable peak). More sonorous sounds tend to be syllable nuclei.

Avoidance of Syllable-Final Clusters

Russian generally avoids complex consonant clusters at the end of syllables. Consonants are assigned to the following syllable if a cluster would otherwise result.

Palatalization

Palatalized consonants influence syllable division, often creating a clear syllable boundary.

  • The 'стн' cluster is permissible due to the following vowel.
  • The double 'нн' represents a lengthened consonant sound and doesn't affect syllable division.
  • Vowel reduction in unstressed syllables is a significant factor in pronunciation but doesn't alter the orthographic syllable division.
