Word Parts
Onset Maximization
Norwegian prefers to include as many consonants as possible in the onset of a syllable.
Vowel as Syllable Nucleus
Each syllable must contain a vowel sound.
Compound Word Syllabification
Compound words are syllabified based on the individual morphemes, but the onset maximization rule still applies.
- Regional variations in pronunciation might affect vowel qualities, but not the core syllable division.
- The 'r' sound can be trilled or tapped depending on the dialect, but this doesn't change the syllable structure.
