Vowel-Based Division

Syllables are generally formed around vowel sounds, creating open syllables where possible.

Avoid Consonant Clusters

Consonant clusters are avoided unless they are complex and involve a sonorant consonant. This rule is applied to maintain syllable openness.

Final Syllable Stress

French stress typically falls on the final syllable, influencing the perceived prominence of the last syllable.

  • The 'ss' sequence is a geminate consonant, treated as a single consonant sound within a syllable.
  • Liaison rules could affect pronunciation in connected speech, but do not alter the core syllabification.
