Consonant Cluster Preservation

Avoidance of Single-Letter Syllables
Dutch avoids syllables consisting of a single consonant.
- The 'sch' digraph is treated as a single unit.
- The 'lijk' suffix is often pronounced as a single syllable.
- Regional variations in vowel pronunciation may exist, but do not significantly alter syllable division.
