Word Parts
Vowel Nucleus Rule
Syllables are formed around vowel nuclei. Each syllable must contain at least one vowel sound.
Consonant Cluster Rule
Consonant clusters following a vowel form a syllable, unless they can be split based on phonotactic constraints.
Digraph Rule
Digraphs (like 'ee') are treated as a single vowel sound and are not split across syllables.
- Dutch allows some flexibility in syllable division, particularly with consonant clusters, but the presented division is the most common and phonologically justifiable.
- Regional variations in vowel pronunciation may exist, but they do not significantly alter the syllable division.
