Word Parts
Maximize Onsets
Dutch prioritizes creating syllables with consonant clusters at the beginning (onsets) whenever possible.
Avoid Single-Letter Syllables

Penultimate Stress

- The presence of consonant clusters (e.g., 'tr', 'ling') requires careful consideration to maximize onsets without violating other rules.
- Regional variations in pronunciation might slightly affect the perceived syllable boundaries, but the core syllabification remains consistent.
