Onset-Rime Principle

Syllables are formed around a vowel nucleus, with preceding consonants forming the onset and following consonants forming the rime.

Sonority Sequencing Principle

Consonant clusters are broken down based on sonority, favoring the placement of more sonorous sounds in the nucleus.

Avoidance of Isolated Consonants

Nynorsk generally avoids leaving single consonants as syllable onsets or codas unless they are part of a larger cluster.

  • Geminate consonants ('ll', 'tt') are common in Nynorsk and influence pronunciation but not necessarily syllable division.
  • Regional variations in vowel quality and consonant realization may exist.
