Onset-Rime

Syllables are formed around a vowel nucleus, with preceding consonants forming the onset and following consonants forming the coda (rime).

Avoid Breaking Consonant Clusters

Consonant clusters are generally maintained within a syllable unless they are exceptionally complex or disrupt the flow of pronunciation.

  • The 'ph' digraph is pronounced /f/ in French.
  • Consonant clusters like 'chr' and 'gr' are permissible, despite being less common than single consonants.
  • French generally favors open syllables, but closed syllables are common, especially in learned vocabulary.
