Dutch avoids starting a syllable with a single consonant if possible, preferring to attach it to the preceding syllable.

Open Syllable Preference

Dutch favors open syllables (CV) over closed syllables (CVC).

  • The 'st' cluster in 'instelling' is a common consonant cluster that is typically treated as a single unit within the syllable.
  • Regional variations in vowel pronunciation may exist, but do not significantly alter the syllabification.
