Vowel-Centered Syllables

Each syllable must contain a vowel sound. This is the primary rule guiding syllable division.

Avoid Breaking Consonant Clusters

Consonant clusters are maintained within syllables unless they are exceptionally complex or disrupt the vowel-centered structure.

Nasal Vowel Considerations

Nasal vowels form the nucleus of their respective syllables, influencing syllable boundaries.

  • The 'ndr' consonant cluster is permissible in French and doesn't require syllable separation.
  • The nasal vowels /ɔ̃/ and /ɛ̃/ require careful consideration in syllable division.
  • The conditional ending '-aient' is a common source of nasalization and influences the final syllable.
