Onset Maximization

Consonant clusters are maximized within the onset of a syllable (e.g., 'sj' in 'sjon').

Vowel Cluster Resolution

Vowel clusters are broken down into separate syllables where possible, respecting phonotactic constraints.

Sonority Sequencing Principle

Syllables are structured to follow the sonority sequencing principle.

Open Syllable Preference

Nynorsk favors open syllables (CV) over closed syllables (CVC).

  • The 'sj' cluster is treated as a single onset.
  • Double consonants are considered part of the coda.
  • Regional variations in vowel pronunciation may exist but do not affect syllable division.
