Onset Maximization
Consonant clusters are generally kept together at the beginning of a syllable to maximize the onset.
Vowel Centering
Each syllable must contain a vowel sound.
- Dutch allows for complex consonant clusters, which can sometimes lead to ambiguity, but the rules generally prioritize keeping consonant clusters intact within a syllable.
- Regional variations in vowel pronunciation (e.g., the schwa /ə/) might exist, but these do not significantly alter the syllabification.
