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 flow of pronunciation.

  • The 'sch' cluster is treated as a single unit in Dutch phonology.
  • The genitive '-s' is often pronounced weakly and can influence the preceding syllable's pronunciation.
