Vowel-centric Syllabification

Syllables are formed around vowel sounds. Each vowel generally initiates a new syllable.

Nasal Vowel Rule

Nasal vowels (like 'on' and 'an') typically form their own syllable.

Consonant Cluster Rule

Consonant clusters are maintained within a syllable unless they are difficult to pronounce together.

  • The 'ch' consonant cluster is permissible at the beginning of a syllable in French.
  • The '-nions' suffix is a complex inflectional suffix, but its syllabification is consistent.
  • Liaison between 'dé' and 'capuchon' is possible in fluent speech but doesn't alter the underlying syllabification.
