Vowel-Based Syllabification

French syllabification prioritizes vowel sounds. Each vowel (or vowel combination) generally forms the nucleus of a syllable.

Avoid Stranded Consonants

Consonants are generally assigned to the syllable that follows the vowel sound. This avoids leaving consonants without a vowel.

Consonant Clusters

Consonant clusters are broken up based on sonority, with the more sonorous sounds tending to be assigned to the following syllable.

  • The silent 'e' in 'électr-' is crucial for syllabification, as it creates a vowel sound that defines the syllable boundary.
  • Liaison possibilities exist, but the standard pronunciation dictates a clear separation between syllables in this case.
