Vowel-Based Division

Syllables are generally formed around vowel sounds. Each vowel sound typically forms the nucleus of a syllable.

Avoid Breaking Consonant Clusters

Consonant clusters are kept together within a syllable unless they are complex or create pronunciation difficulties. The 'mand' cluster is maintained.

Final Syllable Stress

Stress typically falls on the final syllable of a word in French, unless that syllable contains a schwa.

  • The 're-' prefix is treated as a separate syllable despite being a short vowel sound.
  • The presence of nasal vowels (/ɔ̃/, /ɑ̃/) requires careful phonetic transcription.
  • Liaison possibilities exist but do not affect the underlying syllabification.
