Vowel Peak Principle

Each syllable contains a vowel sound.

Consonant clusters are assigned to the onset of the syllable whenever possible.

Avoid Diphthong Splitting

Diphthongs are kept intact within a single syllable.

Suffix Separation

Suffixes are generally treated as separate syllables.

  • Dutch allows for some flexibility in syllable division, particularly with consonant clusters, but the presented division adheres to maximizing onsets.
  • Regional variations in vowel pronunciation exist but do not significantly alter the syllable division.
