Hungarian has a fairly easy rule for syllabification. If a word is
compound, it is first split into its constituent parts. A simple word is
split into as many syllables as there are vowels in it, and if there are
consonants between two vowels, the last one belongs to the second vowel,
the rest to the first. It is simple, it works, and I find the different
rules in other languages often confusing.
