Maximize Onsets

Norwegian prefers to create syllables with consonant onsets whenever possible.

Avoid Stranded Consonants

Consonants are generally not left at the end of a syllable unless necessary.

Vowel-Based Division

Syllables are typically divided around vowel sounds.

  • The double consonants 'll', 'mm', and 'll' indicate vowel lengthening, which affects pronunciation but not syllable division.
  • Norwegian allows for relatively complex consonant clusters, which are handled by maximizing onsets.
