Word Parts
Vowel Nucleus Rule
Syllables are formed around vowel nuclei. Each syllable must contain a vowel sound.
Consonant Cluster Rule
Consonant clusters are generally divided to avoid stranded consonants, with consonants following a vowel forming the onset of the next syllable.
Avoid Stranded Consonants
French syllabification avoids leaving consonants without a vowel sound.
- The 'x' represents a consonant cluster (/ɡz/) but is treated as a single onset.
- The final 's' is silent but can trigger liaison, which doesn't affect internal syllabification.
- Nasal vowels do not affect syllable division.
