Vowel-Based Syllabification
Syllables are formed around vowel sounds. Each vowel sound generally constitutes a syllable.
Consonant Cluster Rule
Consonant clusters are maintained as a unit within a syllable if they are pronounceable without significant difficulty. 'nt' and 'f' are examples.
Final Syllable Rule
The final syllable often receives primary stress and is clearly delineated.
- Nasal vowels (/ɔ̃/, /ɑ̃/) require careful pronunciation and can influence syllable perception.
- Liaison (linking of final consonants to initial vowels) can occur in connected speech but does not alter the underlying syllabification.
- The silent 'h' in 'authentifier' does not affect syllable division.
