Vowel-Based Division
Syllables are generally formed around vowel sounds. Each vowel sound typically forms the nucleus of a syllable.
Consonant Cluster Preservation
Consonant clusters are maintained within a syllable unless they are easily separable by a vowel sound. This is common in French, especially in learned vocabulary.
Final Syllable Stress
