Vowel-Based Division

Syllables are formed around vowel sounds, creating open syllables where possible.

Consonant Cluster Handling

Consonant clusters are maintained within a syllable unless they are overly complex.

Final Consonant Rule

A single consonant at the end of a word typically belongs to the preceding syllable.

  • The nasal vowels /ɔ̃/ and /ɑ̃/ do not affect the syllabification process but are crucial for pronunciation.
  • The length of the word and the presence of multiple suffixes require careful application of the vowel-based division rule.
