Onset Maximization

Consonant clusters are kept together at the beginning of a syllable (e.g., 'vr' in 'vernutfordring').

Vowel Peak

Each syllable must contain a vowel sound.

Avoid Stranded Consonants

Consonants are not left at the end of a syllable unless they form part of a permissible consonant cluster.

  • The 'j' sound can sometimes be ambiguous, but is clearly part of the 'miljø' syllable in this case.
  • Regional variations in pronunciation might affect the precise realization of vowels, but not the syllable division itself.
