Onset-Rime Principle

Syllables are formed around a vowel nucleus, with preceding consonants forming the onset and following consonants forming the rime.

Avoid Breaking Consonant Clusters

Consonant clusters are generally kept together within a syllable unless they are complex.

Open Syllable Preference

Dutch favors open syllables (ending in a vowel).

  • Vowel reduction in unstressed syllables is common.
  • The /ɣ/ sound in 'collega' and 'instellingen' is a voiced velar fricative, a typical Dutch feature.
