Phonotactics: Examples, Notes and reference & Overview

Phonotactics (from Ancient Greek phōnḗ 'voice, sound' and taktikós 'having to do with arranging') is a branch of phonology that deals with restrictions in a language on the permissible combinations of phonemes. Phonotactics defines permissible syllable structure, consonant clusters and vowel sequences by means of phonotactic constraints.
