Vowel-Consonant Division

Syllables are generally divided after vowels, creating open syllables where possible.

Syllabic Consonant

Dutch allows for syllabic consonants (e.g., /t/, /d/) between vowels, forming a separate syllable.

Avoid Diphthong Splitting

Diphthongs are not split across syllable boundaries.

  • The 't' between 'on' and 'wikkel' could theoretically be attached to either syllable, but the vowel-consonant pattern is preferred.
  • Regional variations in vowel pronunciation may exist, but do not affect the syllabification.
