Word Parts
Maximize CV Syllables
Danish favors syllables of the form consonant-vowel (CV). Syllable division attempts to create as many CV syllables as possible.
Avoid Breaking Pronounceable Consonant Clusters
Consonant clusters that are easily pronounced as a unit are not broken into separate syllables.
Vowel Sounds as Syllable Nuclei
Each syllable must contain a vowel sound, which serves as its nucleus.
- The presence of stød (glottal stop) does not affect syllable division, but can influence perception.
- Regional variations in the pronunciation of the 'r' sound (often uvular) may exist.
