Dutch syllabification prioritizes creating syllables ending in vowels (CV structure) whenever possible.
Consonant Cluster Handling
Consonant clusters are generally kept together within a syllable unless they can be easily split without violating phonotactic constraints.
Penultimate Stress
Dutch generally places primary stress on the second-to-last syllable of a word.
- The 'sk' and 'ng' clusters are treated as single onsets or codas.
- Potential for elision of final 'n' in 'ingen' and 'gen' in rapid speech, but this doesn't affect the underlying syllabification.
