Vowel-Based Syllabification
Dutch syllabification prioritizes vowel sounds. Each vowel (or diphthong) typically forms the nucleus of a syllable.
Diphthong Integrity
Diphthongs (like 'ij' or 'ei') are never split across syllable boundaries.
Onset-Rime Structure
Syllables are structured around an onset (initial consonant(s)) and a rime (vowel and any following consonants).
- Dutch allows for complex consonant clusters, which are treated as single onsets or codas.
- The 'sch' cluster is treated as a single onset.
- Regional variations in vowel pronunciation may exist, but do not affect syllabification.
