Following Nynorsk syllable division rules, which prioritize maximizing onsets (consonant clusters at the beginning of a syllable) and avoiding stranded consonants, the division is as follows.

3. Morphemic Analysis:

• ungarsk-: Root, derived from "Ungarn" (Hungary). Origin: Germanic/Hungarian. Function: Adjectival base.

5. Phonetic Transcription:

/ˈʊŋɑʂkˌtɑːlɛndə/

6. Syllable Breakdown & Rule Application:

7. Edge Case Review:

The 'r' sound in Nynorsk can be challenging. Its pronunciation can vary, and sometimes it can be almost silent, especially in certain dialects. This doesn't significantly affect the syllabification, but it can impact the perceived length of syllables.
