Dutch syllabification prioritizes vowel sounds. Each vowel (or diphthong) typically forms the nucleus of a syllable.

Consonant Cluster Handling

Consonant clusters are generally maintained within a syllable unless they are exceptionally complex or disrupt the vowel-based structure. 'rd' is treated as a single onset.

Diphthong Integrity

Diphthongs (like 'oo') are not split across syllable boundaries.

  • The 'rd' cluster is treated as a single onset, a common feature in Dutch phonology.
  • The long vowels /uː/, /oː/, and /eː/ influence syllable weight and stress patterns.
