Onset Maximization
Norwegian prefers to include as many consonants as possible in the onset of a syllable, as seen in 'fjer' and 'syn'.
Vowel Centering
Each syllable must contain a vowel, dictating the syllable boundaries.

- The 'j' sound in 'fjern' forms a single onset with 'f'.
- Geminate consonants (nn, ll, tt) are phonemically distinct.
- Regional variations in vowel pronunciation may exist but do not significantly alter syllable division.
