Vowel-centric Syllabification

Each vowel sound generally forms the nucleus of a syllable. This is the primary rule applied throughout the word.

Consonant Cluster Handling

Consonant clusters (like 'ss') are maintained within a syllable unless they are exceptionally complex, which is not the case here.

  • The nasal vowels /ɑ̃/ and /ɔ̃/ require consideration, but French allows syllables to end in these sounds.
  • Liaison between 'sous' and 'aliment' is possible in fluent speech but doesn't affect the underlying syllabic structure.
