Onset Maximization

Norwegian prefers to include as many consonants as possible in the onset of a syllable (e.g., 'str' in 'stra').

Vowel Sequencing

Each vowel generally forms the nucleus of a separate syllable.

Sonority Sequencing Principle

Syllables tend to follow a sonority hierarchy, with sounds becoming more sonorous towards the nucleus.

  • The 'sj' cluster is treated as two separate consonants for syllabification, although it can sometimes be considered a single phoneme.
  • Regional variations in pronunciation might affect the precise realization of vowels, but the syllable division remains consistent.
