Vowel-Centered Syllabification
Each syllable must contain a vowel sound. This is the primary rule governing Dutch syllabification.
Avoid Diphthong Splitting
Diphthongs, like 'ei' in 'vrij', are kept together within a single syllable.
Consonant Cluster Handling
Consonant clusters are generally kept together unless they are easily separable based on sonority. 'ds' is treated as a single unit.
- The presence of schwa sounds (/ə/) in unstressed syllables is a common feature of Dutch and influences syllabification.
- Regional variations in vowel pronunciation may exist, but do not significantly alter the syllabification.
