Open Syllable Preference

Nynorsk favors open syllables (CV) whenever possible. Syllables are divided to maximize the number of open syllables.

Consonant Cluster Avoidance

Consonant clusters are generally maintained within a syllable unless they are exceptionally complex or disrupt the flow of pronunciation.

  • The '-nds-' and '-ktɪ-' consonant clusters are common in Nynorsk and do not require syllable separation.
  • Regional variations in pronunciation might slightly affect the perceived stress, but the core syllable division remains consistent.
