Marsatian syllable structure can be at most /CGVC/. In this structure, G is a glide /j, w/. Any consonant except /ŋ/ may occur initially, but only /p, t, k, m, n, ŋ, l/ may occur finally. As mentioned above, two consonants may occur only between vowels. However, words can also end in double consonants, which are only both pronounced when followed by a vowel. | |||
<!-- Explain the consonant clusters and vowel clusters that are permissible for use in the language. For example, "st" is an allowed consonant cluster in English while onset "ng" isn't. --> | <!-- Explain the consonant clusters and vowel clusters that are permissible for use in the language.
