Vowel-centric Syllabification

Syllables are formed around vowel sounds. Consonant clusters are generally not broken unless they are complex and difficult to pronounce.

Open Syllable Preference

French favors open syllables (ending in a vowel) over closed syllables (ending in a consonant).

  • The nasal vowel /ɛ̃/ in 'quin' does not affect the syllabification.
  • The pronunciation of 'g' as /ʒ/ before 'e' is a standard phonetic rule in French.
