Maximize Onsets

The syllable division attempts to include as many consonants as possible in the onset of each syllable (e.g., 'rus', 'mid').

Vowel Boundary Rule

Syllables are generally divided at vowel boundaries (e.g., 'rus-mid').

Consonant Cluster Resolution

Consonant clusters are resolved based on sonority, with more sonorous sounds tending to be included in the onset (e.g., 'del').

  • The 'dl' cluster in 'middel' could theoretically be considered a single unit, but separating it into /d/ and /l/ is more common and aligns with general Nynorsk phonotactics.
  • Regional variations in pronunciation might slightly affect the precise syllable boundaries, but the overall division remains consistent.
