- Abstract
This paper aims to examine the syllabification of Hindko dialect spoken in Tanawal, Mansehra. The data was collected from two sources; first, from two dictionaries written in other dialects of Hindko, and secondly, by recording the daily conversations of the native speakers of Tanawal. The data was transcribed into International Phonetic Alphabet (IPA) and then the syllable boundaries were marked in light of Maximal Onset Principle (MOP). The findings show that the Tanawal dialect generally follows the Maximal Onset Principle of syllabification. The results also indicate that most of the words satisfy the Law of Initial (LOI) and Law of Finals (LOF).
