Sonority Sequencing Principle

Sounds within a syllable are ordered by decreasing sonority (e.g., 'spl-' follows this principle).

  • The long vowels /aː/ and /ɛː/ do not pose specific syllabification challenges.
  • The consonant clusters /rn/ and /ns/ are common in Swedish and are handled according to onset maximization.
