Onset Rule
Consonant clusters are maintained as onsets unless breaking them creates an illegal syllable structure (e.g., a single consonant as a syllable onset).
Sonority Sequencing Principle
Syllables are structured to maximize sonority, favoring vowel-initial syllables.
Avoid Single-Letter Syllables
Dutch avoids syllables consisting of a single consonant.
- The 'd' between vowels can be softened or elided in casual speech, but this doesn't affect the formal syllabification.
- The sequence '-sprak-' could theoretically be broken, but avoiding a single-letter syllable ('-s-') takes precedence.
