Vowel-Based Syllabification

Each vowel sound generally forms the nucleus of a syllable.

Consonant Cluster Handling

Consonant clusters are generally kept together unless they are complex and contain a sonorant consonant.

Avoidance of Lone Consonants

Consonants are generally not left as the sole element of a syllable.

  • The 'déter' sequence requires careful consideration to avoid breaking up a potentially complex consonant cluster, but the vowel 'e' naturally creates a syllable break.
  • French stress is subtle and primarily on the final syllable, but not as strong as in some other languages.
