Word Parts
Onset Maximization
Dutch prefers to include as many consonants as possible in the syllable onset.
Vowel Centering
Syllables are built around vowel sounds, forming the nucleus.
Avoidance of Single-Letter Syllables
Single consonants are generally not considered syllable nuclei.
- Regional variations in the pronunciation of the 'g' sound (voiced velar fricative vs. uvular fricative) do not affect syllable division.
- Schwa reduction in unstressed syllables is common and doesn't alter the syllabic structure.
