Word Parts
Vowel Sound Priority
Syllables are divided around vowel sounds, aiming to include any following consonants if they form a natural phonetic unit.
Avoid Diphthong Splitting
Diphthongs (vowel combinations) are kept within a single syllable.
Consonant Cluster Consideration
Consonant clusters are generally maintained within a syllable unless they are exceptionally difficult to pronounce together.
- The 'g' sound is a voiced velar fricative /ɣ/ in Dutch, which can be challenging for non-native speakers.
- Dutch syllable division can be somewhat flexible, but the presented division is the most common and phonologically justifiable.
