Onset Maximization
Dutch prefers to maximize the onsets of syllables, assigning consonants to the following vowel whenever possible.
Vowel Centering
Syllables are built around vowel sounds.
Avoid Breaking Consonant Clusters
Consonant clusters are generally kept together within a syllable unless easily separable.
- The 'sch' cluster is treated as a single phoneme and remains within the same syllable.
- The final -en suffix can be reduced in pronunciation (to -n) in casual speech, but the syllabification remains consistent.
