Onset Maximization
Norwegian prefers to maximize consonant clusters in the onset of a syllable, as seen in 'per-son' and 'be-tegn'.
Vowel Peak
Each syllable must contain a vowel sound, ensuring clear syllable boundaries.
Sonority Sequencing
Syllables generally follow a sonority sequencing principle, with sounds becoming more sonorous towards the nucleus (vowel).
- The 'gn' cluster /ɲ/ requires careful transcription.
- Geminate consonants (double 't' in 'betegnelse') lengthen the sound.
- Stress placement in compound words can deviate from the general rule of stressing the first syllable.
