Question

write a short notes on consonant clusters​

Answer 1

What are consonant clusters in English?

A consonant cluster (sometimes known as a consonant blend) is a group of consonants that appear together in a word without any vowels between them. When reading clusters, each letter within the cluster is pronounced individually. Sometimes in certain consonant clusters (a string of two or more consonants in a word) the sounds may be reduced or dropped. Below are some of these reductions.

Answer 2

Answer:

A consonant cluster in a word is a group of consonants with no vowels between them. The longest possible cluster in English is three consonant sounds at the start, such as 'splash', and four at the end, as in 'twelfths'.

Explanation:

• A set of consonants without an intervening vowel is referred to as a consonant cluster, consonant sequence, or consonant compound in linguistics.
• For instance, the English word splits contain the consonant clusters /spl/ and /ts/. It is referred to as a consonant cluster or a consonant blend in the field of education, respectively.
• They are sometimes referred to as consonant blends.
• The most important thing to keep in mind is that you need to pronounce each word or word cluster separately as you read it out. You would notice that some consonant clusters have fewer or fewer sounds.

Examples:

• The tongue twister "The sixth twisty crisp" is challenging to speak because it contains multiple consonant clusters.
