Open Syllable Preference

Dutch favors open syllables (ending in a vowel). Syllable divisions are made to maximize the number of open syllables.

Consonant Cluster Avoidance

Consonant clusters are generally not broken up unless absolutely necessary. This is evident in 'wisselings' where 'ssl' remains together.

Compound Word Syllabification

Compound words are syllabified as if they were separate words joined together, following the same rules as single words.

  • Regional variations in the pronunciation of 'w' (/w/ vs. /ʋ/).
  • Potential vowel reduction in unstressed syllables, though this doesn't affect the syllabification.
