Word Parts
Initial Consonant + Vowel
Syllables are formed around vowel nuclei, with preceding consonants forming the onset.
Vowel Hiatus
When two vowels occur consecutively, they are typically separated into different syllables.
Consonant Clusters
Consonant clusters are maintained within a syllable as long as they are phonotactically legal in Dutch.
Maximizing Onset Principle
Applied where possible, but overridden by the need to avoid illegal onsets.
- The 'ei' sequence is often treated as a diphthong, but for syllabification, it's treated as a vowel sequence.
- The schwa /ə/ is common in unstressed syllables and can sometimes lead to ambiguity in syllabification.
