Maximize Onsets

Dutch syllabification prioritizes creating syllables with maximal onsets (consonant clusters at the beginning of a syllable).

Avoid Breaking Clusters

Consonant clusters are generally kept within a single syllable unless they are exceptionally complex.

Vowel as Syllable Nucleus

Each syllable must contain a vowel sound, which serves as the nucleus.

  • The compound nature of the word requires considering the syllabification of each component.
  • The 'ts' cluster is a common exception to rules that might otherwise split syllables.
  • Regional variations in vowel pronunciation may exist but do not significantly alter the syllabification.
