Vowel-Based Syllabification
French syllabification prioritizes vowel sounds. Each vowel sound generally forms the nucleus of a syllable.
Consonant Cluster Avoidance
Consonant clusters are generally not broken unless they are easily pronounceable as separate syllables. 'sc' is treated as a single sound /s/.
Final Consonant Rule
A final consonant typically closes the preceding syllable.
- The pronunciation of 'sc' as /s/ rather than /sk/.
- The nasalization of vowels before nasal consonants ('en', 'on').
- The silent 's' at the end of the word, which influences vowel nasalization.
