Norwegian syllable division prioritizes including as many consonants as possible in the onset of a syllable. This explains the treatment of 'ss' as a single onset.

Vowel Nucleus

Each syllable must contain a vowel sound as its nucleus.

  • The 'r' sound can be reduced or dropped in some dialects, potentially affecting the perceived syllable boundaries, but not the orthographic division.
  • Consonant clusters are broken up based on sonority.
