Onset-Rime Principle

Syllables are formed around a vowel nucleus (rime) preceded by optional consonants (onset).

Avoidance of Complex Onsets/Codas

Nynorsk prefers simpler syllable structures, avoiding complex consonant clusters at syllable boundaries.

Diphthong Treatment

Diphthongs are generally treated as part of the rime.

  • The 'kj' digraph is treated as a single onset. Regional variations in 'r' pronunciation do not affect syllabification.
