Open Syllable Preference

Dutch favors syllables ending in vowels. Syllables are divided to maximize open syllables.

Consonant Cluster Handling

Consonant clusters are maintained within a syllable unless a natural break point exists (e.g., a vowel).

Compound Word Syllabification

Compound words are syllabified based on the individual components, applying the other rules.

  • The 'ng' cluster is treated as a single unit.
  • Regional variations in vowel pronunciation may exist, but do not affect syllabification.
  • The final 'n' in '-len' is often reduced in pronunciation.
