Dutch Syllabification Preference
Dutch tends to maximize onsets (consonants at the beginning of a syllable) before codas (consonants at the end of a syllable).
- The 'ch' sound /x/ is a single phoneme in Dutch and is treated as such in syllabification.
- The final 'n' in 'gen' can be reduced to a schwa or even dropped in rapid speech, but it still influences the syllable structure.
