Vowel-centric Syllabification

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

Consonant Cluster Avoidance

Consonant clusters are generally avoided unless they are complex or commonly occur together. Liaison can create temporary clusters.

Liaison

Liaison (linking of final consonants to initial vowels) can affect syllable boundaries, creating new consonant-vowel combinations.

  • The liaison between 'dé' and 's'ap' is optional but common in careful speech.
  • The nasal vowel /ɔ̃/ requires specific phonetic articulation.
  • The '-asses' ending is a complex inflectional form.
