Syllables begin with vowel sounds. Each vowel sound initiates a new syllable.

Consonant Cluster Rule

Consonant clusters are generally broken after the first consonant if a vowel follows, ensuring each syllable has a vowel sound.

Nasal Vowel Rule

Nasal vowels form a syllable on their own, as they represent a distinct vowel sound.

  • Nasal vowels require careful articulation and can be challenging for non-native speakers.
  • The silent 'e' at the end of 'décontaminer' does not form a syllable.
  • Regional variations in the pronunciation of the 'r' sound may exist.
