Open Syllable Preference

Dutch favors creating open syllables (CV) whenever possible. This is evident in the division of 'fa-mi-lie'.

Consonant Cluster Resolution

Consonant clusters are broken up to avoid ending syllables with multiple consonants. For example, 'on-der'.

Vowel Grouping

Diphthongs and vowel clusters are kept together within a single syllable. 'lie' is kept as one syllable.

  • The final '-n' in 'gen' is often weakly pronounced or elided in rapid speech, but it remains orthographically present and influences syllabification.
  • Stress placement is generally predictable in Dutch, but can be affected by compounding.
