Onset-Rime Principle

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

Avoid Breaking Diphthongs

Diphthongs like 'må' are treated as a single vowel sound and are not split across syllables.

Open Syllable Preference

Nynorsk favors open syllables (CV) whenever possible.

  • Regional variations in pronunciation of 'r' (e.g., alveolar approximant [ɹ] in Eastern Norway).
  • The spelling 'tremånadersperiode' (bokmål) is an alternative form.
