Regional variations in Norwegian pronunciation exist, particularly regarding vowel qualities and the realization of certain consonant clusters. However, these variations generally do not affect the core syllable division. Some dialects might slightly reduce the vowel in the unstressed syllables.

11. Division Rules Applied:

• Onset Maximization: Consonant clusters are generally kept together at the beginning of a syllable (e.g., "str" in "instrukt").
• Vowel Centering: Each syllable typically contains one vowel sound.
• Avoidance of Stranded Consonants: Consonants are not left at the end of a syllable unless they form part of a permissible consonant cluster.
