Onset Maximization

Swedish favors maximizing the number of consonants in the onset of a syllable.

Vowel Sequence Resolution

Vowel sequences are generally broken into separate syllables.

Syllable Boundary after Vowel

A syllable boundary typically occurs after each vowel.

Coda Constraints

Swedish codas are relatively simple, typically consisting of single consonants or common clusters.

  • The handling of consonant clusters is a key consideration, but they do not typically lead to syllable breaks within the cluster.
  • The long vowel /ɛː/ in 'ten-' influences syllable weight.
