Maximize Onsets

Consonant clusters are generally kept together at the beginning of a syllable (e.g., 'str' in 'Havstrømmer').

Avoid Stranded Consonants

Consonants are not left at the end of a syllable unless necessary (e.g., 'n' in 'ran').

Vowel-centric

Each syllable must contain a vowel sound.

  • Nynorsk allows for complex consonant clusters, which can sometimes lead to ambiguity, but in this case, the rules are relatively straightforward.
  • Regional variations in vowel pronunciation exist but do not affect syllable division.
