Vowel Nucleus Rule

Syllables are formed around vowel nuclei. Each syllable must contain a vowel sound.

Consonant Cluster Rule

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

Single Consonant Rule

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

  • Vowel reduction in unstressed syllables is a significant feature of Russian pronunciation.
  • Palatalization of consonants before front vowels (e.g., /fʲ/, /sʲ/) influences syllable structure.
  • The soft sign (ь) affects the pronunciation and syllabification of preceding consonants.
