Vowel-centric Syllabification
Dutch syllables are generally built around vowel sounds. Each syllable typically contains one vowel.
Consonant Cluster Preservation
Consonant clusters are generally kept together within a syllable unless they are easily separable by a vowel.
Diphthong Integrity
Diphthongs are treated as single vowel units and do not break syllable boundaries.
Suffix Boundaries
Suffixes are often separated into distinct syllables, especially longer suffixes like '-lijkheid'.
- Regional variations in pronunciation of the 'g' sound (/ɣ/ or /x/) do not affect the syllabification.
- The 'sch' consonant cluster is common and doesn't pose a syllabification challenge.
