Onset-Rime Principle

Syllables are formed around a vowel nucleus, with preceding consonants forming the onset and following consonants forming the rime.

Avoid Breaking Consonant Clusters

Nynorsk prefers to keep consonant clusters within a single syllable unless they are exceptionally complex.

Open Syllable Preference

Nynorsk favors open syllables (CV) over closed syllables (CVC).

  • The geminate 'tt' is treated as a single phoneme, lengthening the preceding vowel, but doesn't affect syllable division.
  • Regional variations in vowel quality may exist, but do not alter the core syllabic structure.
