Vowel-Based Division

Syllables are formed around vowel sounds, creating distinct vowel nuclei.

Avoid Diphthong Splitting

Diphthongs are kept intact within a single syllable to maintain phonetic integrity.

Consonant Cluster Handling

Consonant clusters are generally maintained as onsets or codas, unless pronunciation allows for separation.

Maximizing Onsets

Dutch syllabification tends to favor maximizing the number of onsets (consonant-vowel combinations).

  • The 'ings' suffix forms a distinct syllable due to the vowel sound.
  • The 'ntw' consonant cluster is a common Dutch cluster and is treated as an onset.
  • Regional variations in vowel pronunciation may exist but do not significantly alter syllabification.
