Pronunciation of the 'r' sound can vary regionally (uvular vs. alveolar). This doesn't affect syllabification. Liaison rules can also lead to slight variations in pronunciation, but not in syllable division.

11. Phonological Comparison:

• nationalité (nationality): na-tio-na-li-té. Similar syllable structure, but with a different suffix.

The differences in syllable count are primarily due to the complexity of consonant clusters and the presence of additional suffixes. The core principle of vowel-based syllable nuclei remains consistent.
