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 vowels, unless they form a natural phonetic unit.

Avoid Single Consonant Syllable

Russian syllabification avoids leaving a consonant alone as a syllable.

  • Vowel reduction in unstressed syllables affects pronunciation but not written syllable division.
  • Palatalization of consonants before front vowels (e.g., /t/ in 'пред-').
