Open Syllable Preference

French favors open syllables (ending in a vowel) whenever possible.

Consonant Cluster Maintenance

Consonant clusters are maintained when they form a recognizable phonological unit (e.g., 'tr', 'sc').

  • The 'sc' cluster is a common initial cluster and doesn't pose a significant challenge.
  • Nasal vowels do not affect the syllable division process.
