Onset Maximization

Dutch prefers to include as many consonants as possible in the onset of a syllable, as seen with 'sch', 'bl', and 'ap'.

Vowel Peak

Each syllable must contain a vowel, ensuring a clear syllabic nucleus.

Sonority Sequencing Principle

Consonants within a syllable are ordered by sonority, influencing the placement of syllable boundaries.

  • The 'sch' cluster is treated as a single onset despite being two letters.
  • The final '-ten' is a common plural suffix and is consistently syllabified as a separate unit.
  • Regional variations in vowel pronunciation may exist but do not affect the core syllabification.
