Maximize Open Syllables

Dutch prefers syllables of the form CV (consonant-vowel). Syllable division aims to create as many open syllables as possible.

Avoid Single Consonant Onset

Dutch generally avoids starting a syllable with a single consonant if it can be combined with a preceding vowel.

  • Vowel reduction in unstressed syllables (e.g., 'den' can be pronounced as /də(n)/).
  • Consonant clusters are handled by grouping consonants within a syllable if separation would create an illegal syllable structure.
