Vowel-Based Syllabification

Syllables are formed around vowel sounds. Consonants following vowels typically belong to the same syllable.

Nasal Vowel Syllabification

Nasal vowels (e.g., /ɑ̃/, /ɔ̃/) form their own syllables.

Consonant Cluster Syllabification

Consonant clusters are generally kept together within a syllable unless they can be pronounced as separate syllables.

  • The 'ie' digraph in 'cie' creates a palatal glide but is treated as a single sound unit for syllabification.
  • Nasal vowels require specific attention as they form distinct syllables.
  • French stress is generally on the final syllable, but longer words may have secondary stress.
