Onset Maximization
Swedish prefers to include as many consonants as possible in the onset of a syllable (e.g., 'st' in 'stån').
Vowel Break
Each syllable must contain a vowel.
Avoid Stranded Consonants
Consonants are generally not left isolated between syllables.
- The 'st' cluster is a common consonant cluster in Swedish and is generally kept within the same syllable.
- Nasalization of vowels can occur, affecting pronunciation but not necessarily syllabification.
