Vowel Nucleus

Each syllable must contain a vowel nucleus, defining the core of the syllable.

Sonority Sequencing

Syllable structure adheres to the sonority sequencing principle, with sounds decreasing in sonority from the beginning to the end of the syllable.

  • The 'rvs' cluster is a potential point of variation, but standard Nynorsk pronunciation allows it within a syllable.
  • Regional dialects might exhibit slight variations in pronunciation and potentially syllable division.
