Syllables are formed around vowel sounds. Each vowel typically forms the nucleus of a syllable.

Consonant Cluster Handling

Consonant clusters are generally kept together within a syllable, especially when they include sonorant consonants like 'r'.

  • The 'rm' cluster does not cause a syllable break due to the sonorant 'r'.
  • Nasal vowel /ɛ̃/ pronunciation can have slight regional variations, but doesn't affect syllabification.
