Onset-Rime Division

Syllables are divided based on the onset (initial consonant sound(s)) and rime (vowel and any following consonants).

Avoid Breaking Diphthongs

Diphthongs (vowel combinations) are kept within a single syllable.

Maximize Onsets

Consonant clusters are assigned to the onset of the following syllable whenever possible.

  • Dutch allows some flexibility with consonant clusters, but the chosen division adheres to maximizing onsets.
  • Regional variations in vowel pronunciation may exist, but do not affect the core syllabification rules.
