Vowel-Based Division

Consonant Cluster Handling

Consonant clusters are kept together unless they are complex and disrupt the natural flow of pronunciation.

Liaison

Liaison between morphemes can create new syllable boundaries, as seen with 'dé-s'.

  • The liaison between 'dés-' and 'investissant' is a common feature of French pronunciation.
  • Regional variations in pronunciation might slightly affect syllable boundaries, but the core division remains consistent.
