Sonority Sequencing Principle
Consonant clusters are broken up based on sonority, with more sonorous sounds forming the syllable nucleus.
Avoid Single-Consonant Syllables
Dutch avoids syllables consisting of only a single consonant.
Maximize Open Syllables
Preference for CV syllables (consonant-vowel).
- The final schwa /ə/ can be reduced or omitted in some pronunciations, but this doesn't alter the syllable division.
- Consonant cluster splitting is guided by sonority, but some variation is possible.
