Vowel-Based Syllabification
French syllabification prioritizes vowel sounds, creating syllables around each vowel.
Onset-Nucleus Structure
Each syllable typically consists of an onset (consonant(s) before the vowel) and a nucleus (the vowel).
Avoid Stranded Consonants
Consonants are generally not left at the end of a syllable unless they are part of a consonant cluster that cannot be broken.
- The 'ps' cluster is treated as a single onset.
- The pronunciation of 'ph' as /f/ is a standard French rule.
- The final 's' is silent but affects the stress pattern.
