Vowel-centric Syllabification

Each syllable generally contains a vowel sound. Vowels form the nucleus of the syllable.

Consonant Cluster Handling

Consonant clusters are generally maintained within a syllable unless they are easily separable (e.g., a sonorant followed by a plosive).

Sonority Sequencing Principle

Syllable onsets tend to follow a sonority hierarchy, with more sonorous sounds (vowels, liquids, nasals) appearing closer to the nucleus.

  • Vowel reduction in unstressed syllables (e.g., 'о' becoming /ə/).
  • Palatalization of consonants before 'е' and 'и'.
  • The 'тр' cluster is treated as a single onset.
