Open Syllable Preference
Dutch favors open syllables (CV) whenever possible.
Avoid Single Initial Consonants
Consonants are generally not left at the beginning of a syllable unless necessary due to consonant clusters.
Consonant Cluster Handling
Consonant clusters are broken up to create valid syllables, often following the principle of maximizing open syllables.
- The 'g' sound can vary regionally (fricative or stop).
- Alternative division of 'maximum' as 'max-imum' is possible but less common.
- The pronunciation of 'r' can vary (uvular or alveolar).
