Onset Maximization

Nynorsk favors maximizing consonant clusters in the onset of a syllable, leading to divisions like 'kon-trakt' instead of 'kon-t-rakt'.

Vowel-Centric Syllables

Each syllable generally contains one vowel sound, guiding the division around vowel nuclei.

Sonority Sequencing Principle

Syllables follow a sonority hierarchy, with sounds becoming more vowel-like towards the nucleus.

  • The /kt/ cluster is generally maintained in standard Nynorsk, though colloquial speech might simplify it.
  • Regional variations in the pronunciation of /ɾ/ might exist.
