Onset Maximization

Norwegian prefers to include as many consonants as possible in the onset of a syllable.

Vowel Centering

Each syllable must contain a vowel.

Avoid Stranded Consonants

Consonants are generally not left alone at the end of a syllable unless they are part of a consonant cluster.

  • The 'r' sound can be pronounced as a trill or tap depending on the dialect.
  • The vowel quality of 'æ' can vary slightly depending on the region.
