Consonant Cluster Rule

Consonant clusters ('tr', 'rs') are maintained within a syllable unless they are exceptionally complex.

  • Nasal vowels (/ɔ̃/, /ɑ̃/) are common in French and do not affect syllabification rules.
  • Liaison possibilities with preceding words are not relevant for internal syllabification.
