The L in persil is pronounced by some people.

The trigraph -eil is its own thing for pronunciation

There are plenty of Cil words where the L is pronounced. Don't think there's a clear rule there

Totalement le l du persil est prononcé par certaines personnes. Moi je ne le prononce pas mais dans le sud de la France si. C'est comme cerf certains vont prononcer le f d'autres non.

The "l" in "persil" (parsley) is pronounced by some people. I don't pronounce it myself, but in the south of France they do. It's like the "f" in "cerf" (deer); some people pronounce it, others don't.

D'accord, Merci @analog epoch , @spark kiln et @torpid wyvern !

[analog epoch]

Yeah i couldn't find a -cil word where it's not pronounced

Dans persil je le prononce

C here is just consonant, unclear notation on my part

hence the big C

baril, persil, sourcil, can all have L pronounced or not

outil no

[analog epoch]

Oh yea
