Open Syllable Preference

Dutch favors open syllables (CV) whenever possible. Syllable boundaries are created to maximize open syllables.

Consonant Cluster Tolerance

Consonant clusters are permitted within syllables, but syllable division attempts to avoid splitting clusters.

  • The 'ng' cluster in 'ting' can be analyzed as a single phoneme /ŋ/, but is more commonly treated as /ŋ/ within the syllable.
  • The compound nature of the word influences stress placement, deviating from the typical penultimate stress rule.
