Vowel-Centric Syllables

Each syllable typically contains one vowel sound.

Sonority Sequencing Principle

Syllable structure follows a sonority hierarchy (vowels are more sonorous than consonants).

  • The 'kj' digraph can be pronounced as /ç/ or /k/ depending on the dialect, but this doesn't affect syllabification.
  • Norwegian allows for complex consonant clusters, which can sometimes lead to ambiguity, but onset maximization generally resolves these cases.
