Maximize Onsets

French prefers to maximize the number of consonants in the onset of a syllable, as long as the resulting cluster is phonotactically permissible.

Vowel-Consonant Division

When a consonant is followed by a vowel, a syllable break typically occurs between them.

Historical Orthography

The presence of circumflex accents influences vowel pronunciation and can indicate historical syllable boundaries.

  • The silent 's' at the end of the word does not affect syllable division.
  • The vowel clusters are common in French and do not necessitate additional syllable breaks.
  • The circumflex accent on 'â' is a historical marker and affects vowel quality but doesn't change the syllable division.
