Onset Maximization

Nynorsk favors maximizing the number of consonants in the onset of a syllable, as seen in 'spør' and 'smål'.

Vowel Break

Syllables are generally divided around vowels, separating 're', 'ti', and 'pør'.

Consonant Cluster Division

Complex consonant clusters are often split, but attempts are made to keep them within the same syllable if possible, as with 'sm'.

  • The compound nature of the word requires careful consideration of morpheme boundaries, but these do not necessarily dictate syllable boundaries.
  • Regional variations in pronunciation might affect the precise realization of vowel qualities, but the syllable division remains consistent.
