Vowel-Based Syllabification
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.
