Japanese on are distinct from English syllables, often comprising single vowels, single consonants followed by a vowel, or a syllabic nasal ($n$) Syllabification.

   Syllabification Algorithms
   Syllabification—the process of segmenting a spoken utterance into syllables—is governed by language-specific algorithms. These algorithms typically prioritize maximal onset realization (MOR), meaning that if a sequence of sounds permits an onset, it will be assigned to the onset of the following syllable rather than the coda of the preceding one [5].
   However, MOR is frequently overridden by factors related to [perceptua…
