Vowel-Based Syllabification
French syllables are generally built around vowel sounds. Each vowel sound typically forms a syllable.
Avoid Stranded Consonants
Consonants are generally not left at the end of a syllable unless they are part of a consonant cluster.
Diphthong Handling
Diphthongs (vowel combinations) are treated as a single vowel sound within a syllable.
- Silent letters (e.g., 'h' in 'thé', 's' at the end of the word) influence pronunciation but not necessarily syllabification.
- Consonant clusters (e.g., 'th', 'st') require careful consideration to avoid breaking up natural sound units.
