Onset Maximization
Consonant clusters (e.g., 'sk', 'ht') are kept together in the onset of a syllable whenever possible.
Vowel Peak Principle
Each syllable must contain a vowel sound, serving as the syllable's nucleus.
Sonority Sequencing Principle
Sounds within a syllable are ordered by decreasing sonority, ensuring a natural flow of sound.
- The 'sj' cluster is a common feature of Norwegian and doesn't significantly alter syllabification.
- Regional variations in 'r' pronunciation (e.g., reduced 'r') do not affect the core syllable division.
