Vowel-Based Division

Syllables are formed around vowel sounds, creating open or closed syllables.

Consonant Cluster Handling

Consonant clusters are maintained within a syllable unless they are complex or disrupt the flow of vowel sounds.

Morpheme Boundaries

Syllable division often respects morpheme boundaries, but this is not a strict rule.

  • The nasal vowel /ɔ̃/ influences the initial syllable division.
  • The 'gn' digraph is treated as a single phoneme /ɲ/, simplifying syllabification.
  • The imperfect subjunctive ending '-iez' is a relatively fixed unit.
