Vowel-Based Syllabification

Each vowel sound generally forms the nucleus of a syllable.

Consonant Cluster Rule

Consonant clusters are generally kept together unless they are easily separable in pronunciation.

Final Syllable Stress

French typically stresses the final syllable.

  • Liaison (linking the final consonant of one word to the initial vowel of the next) doesn't affect the internal syllabification.
  • Regional variations might exhibit slight differences in vowel quality or the pronunciation of the 'r' sound, but these do not significantly alter the syllabification.
