Vowel-Based Syllabification

Syllables are formed around vowels. Each vowel typically forms the nucleus of a syllable.

Consonant Cluster Resolution

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

Palatalization

Consonants are palatalized before 'е' and 'и', influencing pronunciation and sometimes syllabification.

  • Vowel reduction in unstressed syllables.
  • Palatalization of consonants before 'е' and 'и'.
  • Avoidance of single consonants at the beginning of a syllable unless part of a cluster.
