Vowel-centric Syllabification

Syllables are formed around vowel sounds. Each vowel typically constitutes a syllable nucleus.

Consonant Attachment

Consonants are attached to the preceding or following vowel to form a syllable, unless they form a pronounceable cluster that can stand alone.

  • The 'ch' digraph is pronounced as /ʃ/ but doesn't affect syllabification.
  • Nasal vowels /ɑ̃/ and /ɔ̃/ are common and don't create special syllabification challenges.
