Consonant clusters are kept together at the beginning of a syllable whenever possible (e.g., 'draad').

Vowel Centering

Each syllable must contain a vowel sound (e.g., 'om', 'hei').

Syllable boundaries often align with morpheme boundaries, but this is not a strict rule (e.g., 'prik-kel').

  • Dutch allows for complex consonant clusters, which can sometimes lead to ambiguity, but the rules generally prioritize keeping them intact.
  • Regional variations in vowel pronunciation may exist, but do not significantly alter the syllabification.
