If the concept is correct, that the last syllable gets emphasis, then you are welcome to give a real-world example describing how it might be heard. Grika 01:21, 20 Jun 2005 (UTC)

All right, I have uploaded a sound recording of me saying the word "cathédrale" in French : [[Media:http://pj.piotr.free.fr/cathed.ogg]] - I tried to make it sound as natural as possible. I speak what would be called "French RP", something like "standard French", the same you would hear on TV or on the radio. I live in the Loire valley region, near to Tours, the city in which the French language is supposed to be best spoken in France according to this article But it could be possible that in some other regions, like in the south of France for instances, in the Landes or in Provence, people could stress a particular syllable. But as far I as can tell there is no specific stress in "standard" French, at least, unlike English, Spanish, Italian, Portugese, etc. --Pj.piotr 20:59, 20 Jun 2005 (UTC)
