Maximize Onset Principle

Consonants are assigned to the following vowel whenever possible, creating syllables with onsets.

Avoid Stranded Consonants

Consonant clusters are generally kept together within a syllable to avoid leaving single consonants without a vowel.

Morphological Boundaries

Syllable breaks often occur at morpheme boundaries, but are not strictly enforced; phonotactic constraints take precedence.

  • The 'str' and 'ng' consonant clusters are common in Dutch and do not pose specific syllabification challenges.
  • Regional variations in 'r' pronunciation (uvular vs. alveolar) do not affect syllable division.
