Word Parts
Maximizing Onsets
Dutch prefers to create syllables with onsets (consonants before the vowel) whenever possible.
Vowel Hiatus Resolution
When two vowels are adjacent, they are typically separated into different syllables.
Consonant Cluster Treatment
Consonant clusters are analyzed to determine whether they function as a single onset or are split across syllables.
- The 'ch' cluster is treated as a single onset. The vowel 'ie' is a diphthong and is treated as a single nucleus.
