Onset Maximization
Norwegian favors maximizing the number of consonants in the onset of a syllable, applied in 'fra-' and 'mto-'.
Vowel Centering
Syllables are generally centered around vowels, with each vowel forming the nucleus.
Sonority Sequencing Principle
Consonant clusters are ordered according to sonority.
- The 'mt' cluster in 'mto-' is a potential point of variation in pronunciation, with some speakers potentially inserting a schwa /ə/ to break it up, but this is not standard.
