Word Parts
Vowel-Based Syllabification
Dutch syllabification prioritizes vowel sounds. Each vowel typically forms the nucleus of a syllable.
Consonant Cluster Handling
Consonant clusters are kept together if they are pronounceable as a unit. Breaking them would violate phonotactic constraints.
- The 'vrijg' cluster is a common example of a pronounceable consonant cluster that is not broken.
- Vowel reduction (schwa) can influence the perceived boundaries of syllables, but doesn't change the orthographic division.
