<!-- 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. -->
The syllable structure in Nanyse (meaning the number of consonant sounds that may precede or follow a vowel sound) is CCCVCCC (C = consonant, V = vowel), as long as the consonant clusters are an allowed combination. In addition, when a vowel is followed by a single consonant and then another vowel, the consonant is considered to belong to the second syllable. As happens with many languages that are formed over a long period of time from many different sources, there is the occasional word that doesn't fit this format. These words are the exception to the rule and are few in number.

All syllables have a nucleus
No geminates
No onset /ŋ/ or /ʒ/
No /h/ in the syllable coda
No affricates in complex onsets
The first consonant in a complex onset most be an obstruent
The second consonant in a complex onset must not be a voiced obstruent
If the first consonant in a complex onset is an /s/, the second must be a liquid or a glide
Substring principle
No glides in codas
If there is a complex coda, the second consonant must not be /ŋ/, /ʒ/, or /ð/
If the second consonant in a complex coda is voiced, so is the first
Non-alveolar nasals must be homorganic with the next segment
Two obstruents in the same coda must share voicing

===Stress===
Syllable stress is light and penult, meaning that the next-to-last syllable is the one stressed, except in single syllable words, where it is omitted.
