Sonority Sequencing Principle

Maximizing Onsets

Consonants are preferred to be part of the onset (beginning) of a syllable when possible.

  • Dutch allows for complex consonant clusters, which are handled according to the sonority hierarchy.
  • The 'ng' sound is treated as a single phoneme in Dutch syllabification.
