Onset Maximization
Dutch prefers to maximize consonant clusters at the beginning of syllables.
Sonority Sequencing Principle
Syllables tend to follow a sonority hierarchy (vowels are more sonorous than consonants).
Avoidance of Single-Letter Syllables
Dutch generally avoids syllables consisting of a single consonant.
- The 'eu' diphthong can have slight regional variations in pronunciation.
- The final '-n' is often reduced or elided in rapid speech, but remains part of the final syllable for syllabification.
- The 'oo' digraph is a long vowel sound, influencing syllable structure.
