Onset-Rime

Syllables are formed around a nucleus (vowel), with optional onsets (consonants before the vowel) and codas (consonants after the vowel). Dutch favors maximizing onsets.

Sonority Sequencing Principle

Consonants are ordered by sonority within the onset and coda, with higher sonority sounds closer to the nucleus.

  • Complex consonant clusters are permissible in Dutch.
  • Schwa vowel reduction/elision.
  • Weak pronunciation/omission of the genitive plural ending '-en'.
