Open Syllables

Syllables ending in a vowel sound are generally open (e.g., 'dé', 'ti').

Consonant Clusters

Consonant clusters are maintained within a syllable unless they can be naturally separated by a vowel sound (e.g., 'fɛk').

Final Syllable Stress

Stress typically falls on the final syllable of a word.

Nasal Vowels

Nasal vowels form a single syllable unit (e.g., 'ɛ̃', 'mɑ̃').

  • The presence of the nasal vowel /ɛ̃/ requires careful consideration, but it doesn't alter the core syllabification.
  • The consonant cluster /fɛk/ is maintained as a single syllable due to its pronounceability as a unit in French.
