Open Syllable Preference

Norwegian favors open syllables (ending in a vowel). Syllable boundaries are often placed to create open syllables where possible.

  • The /tt/ and /pp/ clusters are permissible in Norwegian and do not require special syllabification rules.
  • Vowel reduction in unstressed syllables is a common phonetic feature but doesn't affect the orthographic syllable division.
