Regional variations in vowel pronunciation exist in Norwegian. However, these variations generally do not affect syllable division. Some dialects might slightly alter the realization of the 'v' sound.

• Vowel Peak Principle: Each syllable must contain a vowel.
• Sonority Sequencing Principle: Syllables are structured according to the sonority hierarchy (vowels are more sonorous than consonants).
