Vowel-Based Division

Syllables are formed around vowel sounds, creating open syllables where possible.

Consonant Cluster Handling

Consonant clusters are maintained within a syllable unless a vowel sound naturally separates them.

Final Syllable Stress

Stress typically falls on the final syllable in French words.

Avoid Stranded Consonants

Consonants are not left at the beginning of a syllable without a preceding vowel.

  • The 'ction' cluster is treated as a consonant cluster followed by a vowel, allowing for the 'di-rec-tion' division.
  • Liaison and elision possibilities exist in connected speech, but do not affect the core syllabification of the isolated word.
