Open Syllable Preference

Dutch favors syllables ending in vowels (CV).

Consonant Cluster Resolution

Consonant clusters are maintained unless exceptionally complex.

Closed Syllable Formation

Syllables ending in consonants (CVC) are formed when necessary.

Single Consonant Rule

Single consonants typically form their own syllable.

  • The 'rst' cluster in *eerst* and 'ntw' cluster in *antwoord* are common and don't require special handling.
  • Vowel reduction in unstressed syllables is a common phonetic feature.
