Open Syllables

Syllables ending in a vowel sound are generally open (e.g., 'ré', 'in').

Consonant Clusters

Consonant clusters are maintained within a syllable as much as possible (e.g., 'stal').

Avoid Stranded Consonants

Avoid starting a syllable with a single consonant if it can be grouped with a preceding vowel.

Nasal Vowels

Nasal vowels form the nucleus of a syllable (e.g., 'in', 'lait', 'aient').

  • The presence of multiple nasal vowels requires careful consideration of vowel quality and syllable boundaries.
  • The consonant cluster '-stall-' is maintained within a single syllable to avoid creating an unnatural syllable break.
  • French syllabification prioritizes vowel sounds, even if it means creating syllables with consonant clusters.
