Maximize Onsets

Dutch syllabification prioritizes creating syllables with onsets (initial consonants) whenever possible.

Avoid Stranded Consonants

Consonants are generally not left as the sole coda (final consonant) of a syllable if they can be part of an onset.

Vowel-Centric

Each syllable typically contains one vowel sound.

  • The 'r' sound can vary regionally (uvular fricative or tap), but this doesn't affect the syllabification.
  • The French-derived suffix '-issement' is integrated seamlessly into Dutch phonology and syllabification.
