Onset Maximization

Consonant clusters (e.g., 'kjøp', 'manns', 'sti', 'tutt') are kept together at the beginning of a syllable.

Vowel-Centric Syllables

Each syllable contains a 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.

  • The 'kj' digraph represents a single phoneme /ç/.
  • The nasalization of the 'mann' vowel is a characteristic feature of Norwegian pronunciation.
  • Regional variations in vowel pronunciation might exist, but they generally do not affect the syllable division.
