Maximize Onsets
Norwegian syllabification prioritizes creating syllables with onsets (initial consonants) whenever possible.
Open Syllable Preference
Norwegian prefers open syllables (ending in a vowel) over closed syllables (ending in a consonant).
- Double consonants (nn, ll) lengthen the preceding vowel but do not alter syllabification.
- Dialectal variations in vowel pronunciation may occur but generally do not affect syllable division.
