Word Parts
Vowel-Centric Syllabification
Dutch syllabification prioritizes vowel sounds. Each vowel (or diphthong) typically forms the nucleus of a syllable.
Maximize Onsets
Consonant clusters are generally maintained as onsets (consonants preceding a vowel) rather than being split between syllables, unless doing so would violate the vowel-centric rule.
- The 'ui' diphthong is treated as a single vowel sound for syllabification purposes.
- The voiced velar fricative /ɣ/ is a characteristic sound of Dutch and influences syllable boundaries.
