Nasal Vowel Rule
Nasal vowels (e.g., /ɛ̃/, /ɔ̃/) are treated as a single unit with the following 'n'.
- The pronunciation of the 'r' sound can vary regionally (uvular vs. alveolar), but this doesn't affect syllable division.
- Nasal vowels require special consideration as the 'n' is not a separate consonant.
