Word Parts
Onset Maximization
Norwegian prioritizes including as many consonants as possible in the onset of a syllable (e.g., 'beskatning').
Vowel Centering
Syllables are generally centered around a vowel sound.
Avoidance of Stranded Consonants
Consonants are generally not left at the end of a syllable unless they are part of a permissible consonant cluster.
- Regional dialects may influence vowel and consonant cluster pronunciation, potentially affecting perceived syllable boundaries.
- The 's' between 'formue' and 'beskatning' is a genitive marker and doesn't create a separate syllable.
