Vowel Peak Principle

Each syllable must contain a vowel sound.

Sonority Sequencing Principle

Syllables tend to follow a sonority hierarchy (vowels are more sonorous than consonants).

  • Regional variations in Nynorsk pronunciation can affect vowel qualities and the realization of the /r/ sound, but generally do not alter the syllable division.
  • The borrowed nature of 'propaganda' influences the syllable structure, potentially leading to different divisions in other languages.
