Vowel-centric Syllabification

Each syllable is built around a vowel sound. The vowels 'e', 'o', 'é', 'u', 'a' each form the nucleus of a syllable.

Avoid Stranded Consonants

Consonants are generally attached to the nearest vowel sound, preventing them from being left without a syllable.

Final Syllable Stress

In French, stress typically falls on the last syllable of a word, which influences the perception of syllable boundaries.

  • The 'é' in 'régul' is a closed mid vowel, but it still forms a distinct syllable according to French syllabification rules.
  • Liaison possibilities with following words could slightly alter the perceived pronunciation, but not the syllabification.
