Onset Maximization

Consonant clusters are kept together as onsets whenever possible (e.g., *for-*, *hån-*).

Vowel Sequencing

Each vowel sound generally forms the nucleus of a separate syllable (e.g., *ut-ta-le-se*).

Sonority Sequencing

Syllable boundaries tend to occur after a decrease in sonority (e.g., from vowel to consonant).

  • The *nds* cluster is permissible as an onset in Nynorsk.
  • Regional variations in vowel pronunciation (e.g., /ɔ/ vs. /o/) may occur but don't affect syllable division.
  • The 'r' in 'for' is often vocalized or reduced.
