Vowel Peak Principle

Each syllable must contain a vowel sound. This guides the division around vowel nuclei.

Consonant Cluster Preservation

Consonant clusters are maintained within a syllable unless they are exceptionally complex.

Penultimate Stress

Dutch generally stresses the second-to-last syllable, influencing the perceived prominence of syllables.

  • The 'sch' cluster is treated as a single onset.
  • Diphthongs ('ei') are considered single vowel sounds for syllabification.
  • Regional variations in vowel pronunciation may exist but do not alter the core syllabification.
