Consonant Cluster Handling
Consonant clusters are generally divided based on sonority, but Dutch tends to keep clusters together if possible, especially at the beginning of a syllable.
- Regional variations in the pronunciation of the 'r' sound (e.g., uvular 'r' in some regions) might slightly affect the phonetic realization, but not the syllable division.
- The 'aa' vowel is often pronounced as a long /aː/ sound, which influences the duration of the syllable.
