Open Syllable Preference

Dutch favors CV (consonant-vowel) syllable structure whenever possible. This is applied throughout the word.

Consonant clusters are broken up to create permissible syllables, as seen in 'vreem' and 'lin'.

Suffix Separation

Suffixes are generally separated into individual syllables, such as '-ling-' and '-en-'.

  • Vowel reduction in unstressed syllables (e.g., 'de' can be /də/).
  • Potential assimilation of 'n' in 'lingen' to 'b' in 'bureau' in some dialects, but this is not standard.
  • The word's complexity makes it prone to slight variations in pronunciation.
