Vowel-Based Syllabification

Syllables are generally formed around vowel sounds. Each vowel typically forms the nucleus of a syllable.

Onset Maximization

Dutch prefers to include as many consonants as possible in the onset (beginning) of a syllable.

Sonority Hierarchy

When breaking up consonant clusters, consonants are separated based on their sonority (loudness), with more sonorous sounds tending to be syllable nuclei.

  • The 'r' sound can be reduced to a schwa-like sound.
  • The final '-en' plural marker can be reduced or elided in rapid speech.
  • Regional variations in vowel and consonant pronunciation.
