Open Syllable Preference

Nynorsk favors open syllables (CV) whenever possible. Syllable division occurs to maintain this structure.

  • Consonant clusters 'st' and 'fl' are permissible at the beginning of syllables and do not trigger division.
  • Regional variations in vowel pronunciation may exist but do not affect syllable division.
