 ===Phonotactics===
-<!-- 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. -->
+====Consonant Clusters====
+The only allowed consonant clusters in Modern Manish are /s/, /v/, or a plosive followed by a liquid. The only exceptions are the clusters /dl/ and /tl/, which never occur. These clusters are found only in syllable onsets.
+====Syllable Structure====
+The syllable structure in Modern Manish is simple. Every syllable consists of a vowel or diphthong, optionally preceded by a consonant or allowed cluster and optionally followed by a single non-stop consonant other than /r/.
+In most cases, a sequence of two vowels is considered to consist of two syllables. However, if one of the two vowels is /ɪ/, it is pronounced as [j], and the sequence is considered a diphthong.
