Syllables are formed around vowel sounds. Each vowel (or diphthong) typically forms the nucleus of a syllable.

Consonant Cluster Tolerance

Nynorsk allows for relatively complex consonant clusters within a syllable, avoiding unnecessary syllable breaks.

Avoidance of Single-Letter Syllables

Single consonants are generally not considered syllable nuclei unless they form part of a diphthong or are followed by a vowel.

  • Potential vowel reduction in 'avdeling' in some dialects.
  • The 'ds' consonant cluster is permissible and doesn't require syllable division.
