Maximize Onsets
Nynorsk favors creating syllables with consonant clusters at the beginning (onsets) whenever possible, as seen in 'regs' and 'kord'.
Vowel Sequences
Each vowel sound generally forms its own syllable, though diphthongs are treated as a single unit.
Syllable Weight
Closed syllables (ending in a consonant) are common and permissible, as seen in 'regs', 'kord', and 'dar'.
- The 'r' sound is often an alveolar approximant [ɾ] in Nynorsk, influencing the pronunciation of syllables containing 'r'.
- The velar fricative [ɣ] is a common realization of 'g' in many Nynorsk dialects, which could affect the phonetic transcription.
- Compound nouns are common in Nynorsk, and their syllabification follows the general rules but can be complex due to the combination of morphemes.
