Vowel-Based Division

Syllables are formed around vowel sounds. Each vowel sound typically forms the nucleus of a syllable.

Consonant Cluster Rule

Consonant clusters are kept together unless they are complex and disrupt pronunciation. 'gn' and 'ri' are treated as single units.

Prefix/Suffix Rule

Prefixes and suffixes are often treated as separate syllables, especially when they are clearly identifiable morphemes.

  • The 'gn' cluster is treated as a single unit in French syllabification.
  • The nasal vowel /ɛ̃/ requires careful consideration in syllable division.
  • The schwa /ə/ in '-sait' may be reduced or elided in some pronunciations, but doesn't affect the syllable division.
