Onset Maximization

Nynorsk favors maximizing consonant clusters in the onset of a syllable, as seen in 'ver' and 'plass'.

Vowel Nucleus

Each syllable must contain a vowel nucleus, dictating the syllable boundaries.

Sonority Sequencing Principle

Syllable structure follows the sonority sequencing principle, with sounds decreasing in sonority from the syllable onset to the coda.

  • The geminate consonant /tt/ in 'natt' influences syllable weight and stress placement.
  • Regional variations in the pronunciation of 'r' (as a trill or approximant) can affect the phonetic realization but not the syllable division.
