Onset Maximization

Dutch prefers to include as many consonants as possible in the syllable onset.

Sonority Sequencing Principle

Syllables generally follow a sonority hierarchy, with vowels being more sonorous than consonants.

Avoid Single Consonants

Dutch avoids leaving single consonants at the beginning of a syllable when possible.

  • The 'cht' cluster is treated as a single unit in pronunciation, but is split for syllabification purposes.
  • Regional variations in vowel pronunciation exist, but do not fundamentally alter the syllabification.
