Vowel Placement

Syllables are formed around vowels. Each vowel typically forms the nucleus of a syllable.

Avoidance of Single-Letter Syllables

Russian avoids syllables consisting of a single consonant. Consonants are grouped with adjacent vowels to form syllables.

Consonant Clusters

Consonant clusters are treated as onsets or codas depending on the surrounding vowels. 'тр' is treated as a single onset.

  • The 'тр' cluster is a common exception where two consonants are treated as a single onset.
  • Russian stress is unpredictable and can affect vowel reduction in unstressed syllables.
