Maximize Onsets

Consonant clusters are generally kept together at the beginning of a syllable (e.g., 'rt' in 'retts').

Avoid Stranded Consonants

Consonants are not left at the end of a syllable unless necessary due to vowel sequences or morphological boundaries.

Vowel-Based Division

Syllables are generally divided around vowel sounds.

  • The consonant cluster 'rv' is common and doesn't pose a significant challenge.
  • The geminate consonant 'll' in 'vill' is phonemically distinct and influences pronunciation.
  • Nynorsk pronunciation can vary regionally, potentially affecting the articulation of 'r' and vowel qualities.
