Onset Maximization

Norwegian prefers to maximize consonant clusters in the onset of a syllable, as seen in 'stend'.

Vowel Nucleus

Each syllable must have a vowel nucleus, ensuring each division contains a vowel sound.

Sonority Sequencing

Syllable structure follows the sonority sequencing principle, with sounds decreasing in sonority from the syllable onset to the coda.

  • Palatalization of /t/ before /i/ is a phonetic process, not affecting syllable division.
  • Vowel length distinctions are crucial for meaning but don't alter the syllabic structure.
