Maximize Onsets

Consonant clusters are kept together at the beginning of a syllable whenever possible (e.g., 'sk' in 'sko').

Avoid Syllable-Final Consonant Clusters

Norwegian generally avoids ending syllables with consonant clusters, leading to divisions like 'ut-dan' rather than 'utd-an'.

Vowel-Based Division

Syllables are primarily divided around vowel sounds, creating distinct vowel nuclei.

  • The division of 'høgskole' could be debated as 'høg-skole' or 'hø-gskole', but 'høg-sko-le' is more common and aligns with maximizing onsets.
  • Regional variations in vowel pronunciation might exist, but do not affect the core syllabification.
