Onset Maximization

Consonant clusters are kept together as onsets (e.g., *fram-*, *spr-*).

Vowel Break

Each vowel nucleus generally forms a syllable (e.g., *an*, *språ*, *leg*).

Sonority Sequencing Principle

Syllable boundaries tend to occur where sonority decreases.

  • Regional variations in vowel pronunciation might affect the precise phonetic realization, but not the syllable division.
  • The lenition of /d/ between vowels is a common feature of Nynorsk pronunciation but doesn't affect syllable division.
