Vowel-Based Syllabification

Dutch syllabification prioritizes vowel sounds. Each vowel typically forms the nucleus of a syllable.

Consonant Cluster Treatment

Consonant clusters are generally kept together within a syllable, unless they can be naturally split based on pronunciation.

Avoidance of Diphthong Splitting

Diphthongs are not split across syllable boundaries.

  • The 'sch' cluster is treated as a single unit.
  • The interfix '-te-' is a common feature in Dutch compound words and influences syllabification.
  • Stress placement can be affected by compounding, but generally follows the penultimate stress rule.
