Maximize Onsets

Consonant clusters are generally kept together at the beginning of a syllable (e.g., 'felt', 'nd').

Avoid Stranded Consonants

Consonants are not left at the end of a syllable unless necessary (e.g., 'ing').

Vowel-Based Division

Syllables are generally divided around vowel sounds.

  • The 'lt' cluster is a common edge case, but is treated as a single onset in Nynorsk.
  • The 'nd' cluster is also common and doesn't pose a significant issue.
  • Regional variations in pronunciation might slightly affect syllable boundaries, but the core division remains consistent.
