Maximize Onsets
Dutch syllabification prioritizes creating syllables with consonant clusters at the beginning (onsets) whenever possible.
Avoid Single-Letter Syllables
Dutch avoids creating syllables consisting of a single vowel or consonant unless absolutely necessary.
- The 'sch' cluster is treated as a single onset, despite being a consonant blend.
- Regional variations in the pronunciation of 'g' (voiced velar fricative or stop) do not affect the syllabification.
