Onset Maximization

Consonant clusters are kept together in the onset of a syllable whenever possible (e.g., 'for-', 'stil-', 'tel-').

Vowel Peak Principle

Each syllable must contain a vowel sound, which serves as the syllable's nucleus.

Sonority Sequencing Principle

Syllable structure follows a sonority hierarchy, with more sonorous sounds (vowels) closer to the syllable nucleus.

  • Gemination of consonants (e.g., 'hånd') affects syllable weight.
  • The final 'e' is a schwa and is often reduced in rapid speech.
  • Regional variations in vowel pronunciation may exist.
