Onset Maximization
Norwegian favors maximizing the number of consonants in the onset of a syllable, leading to consonant clusters remaining within the same syllable.
Vowel Nucleus

- Regional variations in the pronunciation of 'r' (e.g., trill vs. approximant) do not affect syllable division.
- The complex consonant clusters require careful consideration of sonority hierarchy, but generally adhere to Norwegian phonotactic constraints.
