Maximize Onsets

French prefers to maximize the number of consonants in the onset of a syllable.

Vowel as Nucleus

Each syllable must have a vowel nucleus.

Avoid Stranded Consonants

Consonants are generally not left at the end of a syllable unless they form a permissible cluster.

  • The nasal vowel /ɑ̃/ forms a syllable nucleus.
  • The /tʁ/ consonant cluster is common in French.
  • The vowel /y/ in 'gu' is a semi-vowel.
