Consonant Clusters

Consonant clusters are generally maintained within a syllable unless they are easily separable based on phonotactic constraints.

  • The pronunciation of 'sj' as /ɧ/ is unique to Swedish.
  • The 'ö' vowel can be challenging for non-native speakers.
  • The long and short vowel distinctions are crucial for correct pronunciation.
