Word Parts
Vowel-centric Syllabification
Syllables are built around vowel sounds. Each vowel (or diphthong) forms the nucleus of a syllable.
Onset Maximization
Consonant clusters are generally kept together as onsets (beginning of a syllable) rather than split, unless doing so would violate other rules.
Avoid Diphthong Splitting
Diphthongs (like 'ei' in 'geleiding') are not broken across syllable boundaries.
- Dutch allows some flexibility in syllable division, particularly with consonant clusters, but the proposed division adheres to the principle of maximizing onsets.
- Regional variations in vowel pronunciation exist, but they don't significantly alter the syllable division.
