Onset Maximization

Consonant clusters are kept together at the beginning of a syllable whenever possible (e.g., 'str', 'sjons').

Vowel-Centric Syllables

Each syllable typically contains one vowel sound, forming the syllable nucleus.

Avoidance of Stranded Consonants

Consonants are not left at the end of a syllable unless they are part of a consonant cluster.

  • The 'sj' cluster is treated as a single phoneme /ʃ/ and doesn't affect syllable division.
  • The 'sjons' cluster is a common feature in Norwegian and is syllabified as a unit.
