Onset-Rime Principle

Syllables are formed around a vowel nucleus, with preceding consonants forming the onset and following consonants forming the rime.

Sonority Sequencing Principle

Consonant clusters are resolved based on sonority, with more sonorous sounds tending to be syllable peaks.

Avoidance of Isolated Consonants

Norwegian generally avoids leaving single consonants as syllable onsets or rimes unless they are part of a larger cluster.

Open Syllable Preference

Norwegian favors open syllables (CV) over closed syllables (CVC) when possible.

  • The 'f' sound can be slightly voiced between vowels in some dialects, but this doesn't affect the syllabification.
  • The consonant cluster 'rs' is permissible in Norwegian and doesn't necessitate a syllable break.
