Onset Maximization

Swedish prefers to include as many consonants as possible in the onset of a syllable (e.g., 'st-', 'verk-').

Vowel-Based Division

Syllables are generally divided around vowels.

Geminate Consonant Rule

Geminate consonants are split between syllables if possible, but often remain within the same syllable if they form a natural onset.

  • The length of vowels can influence perceived syllable boundaries, but the orthographic rules take precedence.
  • The '-till-' infix doesn't create a separate syllable; it's integrated into the preceding and following syllables.
