Vowel Nucleus Rule

Each syllable must contain a vowel sound. Syllables are formed around vowel nuclei.

Consonant Cluster Rule

Consonant clusters are generally kept together unless they are easily pronounceable as separate syllables (e.g., 'bl' in 'ble').

Final Stress Rule

In French, stress typically falls on the last syllable of a word.

  • The 'rr' cluster is treated as a single sound and doesn't cause syllable separation.
  • The nasal vowel /ɔ̃/ requires careful pronunciation and influences syllable structure.
  • The silent 'e' at the end of 'ble' and 'ques' does not create a syllable on its own.
