Sonority Sequencing Principle

Syllables are formed to maximize the sonority peak, grouping consonants into onsets where possible.

Vowel as Syllable Nucleus

Each syllable must contain a vowel.

Consonant Clusters

Consonant clusters are split based on sonority hierarchy.

  • Palatalization of consonants before 'е' influences pronunciation but not orthographic syllable division.
  • Vowel reduction in unstressed syllables is a significant phonetic feature.
