Vowel-Based Syllabification

Syllables are formed around vowel sounds. Each vowel (or nasal vowel) typically constitutes a syllable.

Consonant Cluster Handling

Consonant clusters are generally not broken unless they contain a pronounceable vowel sound within them.

Nasal Vowel Syllabification

Nasal vowels (like /ɔ̃/ and /ɑ̃/) form their own syllables.

  • The 'll' consonant cluster is treated as a single consonant sound for syllabification purposes.
  • Regional variations in nasal vowel pronunciation may exist, but do not affect the syllabic structure.
