Vowel-Based Syllabification

Syllables are generally formed around vowel sounds. Each vowel sound typically constitutes a syllable.

Consonant Cluster Rule

Consonant clusters are maintained within a syllable unless they are easily separable in pronunciation. The 'll' cluster is treated as a single consonant sound.

Final Silent Consonant Rule

Silent consonants at the end of a word do not create a new syllable. The 's' at the end of 'intelligibilités' is silent and does not form a separate syllable.

  • The nasal vowel /ɛ̃/ at the beginning of the word forms a syllable on its own.
  • The pronunciation of 'g' as /ʒ/ before 'i' influences the syllabification.
  • The final silent 's' affects stress but not syllable count.
