Onset Maximization

Consonant clusters are maximized within syllables (e.g., 'ach-ten').

Open Syllable Rule

Vowels followed by no consonant form open syllables (e.g., 'ze').

Consonant-Vowel

Syllables are often formed around consonant-vowel pairings (e.g., 'ven', 'tig').

  • Dutch avoids leaving single consonants as syllable onsets when possible, but this is not always applicable, as seen in 'tig'.
  • Regional variations in vowel pronunciation may exist but do not alter the core syllabification.
