Vowel Sound Principle
Syllables are formed around vowel sounds. Each syllable typically contains one vowel sound.
Consonant Cluster Avoidance
French syllabification avoids leaving consonants stranded at the end of a syllable unless they form part of a consonant cluster that naturally belongs there.
Diphthong Rule
Diphthongs (two vowel sounds blended into one) are generally treated as a single vowel sound within a syllable.
- The 'mission' portion could potentially be divided as 'mis-sion', but 'sio-ne' is the standard syllabification due to the diphthong 'io'.
