Maximizing Onsets

Dutch tends to maximize the number of consonants in the onset of a syllable.

  • The 'sch' consonant cluster is treated as a single onset.
  • The schwa /ə/ in 'ë' can sometimes be absorbed into the preceding syllable, but is maintained here for clarity.
  • Regional variations in pronunciation might slightly affect syllabification, but the core principles remain consistent.
