Vowel combinations are often treated as a single nucleus, especially in diphthongs.
- The 'st' and 'ng' clusters are common onsets in Dutch and are treated as such during syllabification.
- Vowel reduction (schwa /ə/) is common in unstressed syllables.
- Regional variations in pronunciation might affect the precise phonetic realization of certain sounds, but not the core syllabification.
