French syllables generally end in a vowel sound. Each vowel sound typically forms the nucleus of a syllable.

Consonant Cluster Division

Consonant clusters are broken only when necessary to avoid creating syllables without a vowel nucleus.

  • The 'tion' cluster is not treated as a single unit in this case due to the intervening vowels.
  • Regional variations in vowel pronunciation may exist but do not affect the core syllabification.
