Vowel Nucleus Rule

Syllables are formed around vowel nuclei. Each vowel typically forms a separate syllable.

Consonant Cluster Rule

Consonant clusters are generally broken before a vowel, creating separate syllables.

Avoid Single Initial Consonant Rule

Russian syllabification avoids leaving a single consonant at the beginning of a syllable.

  • Vowel reduction in unstressed syllables is a significant pronunciation feature but doesn't affect the written syllable division.
  • Palatalization of consonants before vowels /i/ and /e/ influences pronunciation but not syllable division.
