Vowel-Based Syllabification

French syllabification prioritizes vowel sounds. Each vowel sound generally forms the nucleus of a syllable.

Avoidance of Complex Consonant Clusters

Consonant clusters are generally not broken unless they are particularly complex or unusual in French phonology.

Final Syllable Stress

French typically stresses the final syllable of a word or phrase.

  • The '-ai' ending is archaic and not standard modern French. Its presence significantly impacts the syllabification and is the primary exception.
  • The pronunciation of the final 'i' can be elided in rapid speech, but it is present in the orthography and thus considered in the analysis.
