Vowel-Based Syllabification

French syllabification primarily divides words around vowel sounds. Each vowel sound generally forms the nucleus of a syllable.

Consonant Cluster Handling

Consonant clusters are generally maintained within a syllable unless they can be easily pronounced as separate syllables (which is not the case with 'br').

Prefix/Suffix Separation

Prefixes and suffixes are often separated into distinct syllables, especially when they are clearly identifiable morphemes (e.g., 'dés-').

  • The 'qu' digraph is treated as a single phoneme /k/ and remains within the same syllable.
  • The 'br' consonant cluster is treated as a single unit for syllabification.
  • Final syllable stress is a general rule in French, but can be affected by phrasing and intonation.
