Onset Maximization
Consonant clusters are retained at the beginning of syllables (e.g., 'vopp', 'fyl').
Vowel Sequencing
Each vowel sound generally forms the nucleus of a separate syllable (e.g., 'sjøl', 'lan').
Sonority Sequencing Principle
Syllables are structured to follow the sonority sequencing principle, with sounds becoming more sonorous towards the nucleus.
- The geminate consonants (pp, ll) influence syllable weight but do not alter the syllable division.
- Vowel sequences (jø, oa) are common in Nynorsk and are handled according to standard vowel-nucleus rules.
- Regional variations in vowel pronunciation may exist but do not significantly affect syllable division.
