Onset Maximization
Nynorsk prioritizes creating syllables with onsets (consonant-vowel combinations) whenever possible. This is evident in the division of 'rups' and 'jons'.
Vowel-Centric Syllables
Each vowel generally forms the nucleus of a syllable. This is the basis for the division of 'kor', 'av', and 'slø'.
- The 'sj' digraph is treated as a single consonant sound /ʃ/.
- Regional variations in the pronunciation of 'r' (alveolar vs. trilled) may exist, but do not affect syllable division.
- The 'ps' cluster is treated as a single unit.
