Open Syllable Preference
Dutch favors syllable divisions that create open syllables (ending in a vowel) whenever possible.
Avoid Breaking Consonant Clusters
Consonant clusters are generally kept together within a syllable unless they are complex and difficult to pronounce.
- Vowel reduction in unstressed syllables is common in rapid speech.
- Regional variations in the pronunciation of the 'g' sound (/ɣ/ or /x/).
- The compound structure allows for some flexibility in pronunciation, but the syllable division remains consistent.
