∙ 16y agoTwo consonants together are called a consonant cluster. In English, consonant clusters can be found at the beginning, middle, or end of words.
PT can't be a beginning consonant blends because of their sounds, they're unsuitable to be put together and sounds like 2 separate syllables when put together, but they can be an ending consonant blend like "except", "concept", etc. If the PT comes at the beginning of the word like "pterodactyl", "pterosaur", then the P is silent and we pronounce like if the word starts with a T.
A consonant cluster is a sequence of two or more consonant sounds that appear together in a word without any vowels between them. These clusters can be found in words like "blow" or "strength." They can occur at the beginning, middle, or end of a word.
Why don't you look at your question a little closer? I see two words that start with consonant blends. Instead of pronouncing the initial consonants separately, they are blended together. Try pronouncing them together and seeing how they sound.
Take some words (beginning with a consonant) that describe you, make sure they start with the same letter, and string them together to make a sentence.
Two consonants together are called a consonant cluster.
You may be thinking of a double consonant. A consonant is a letter of the alphabet that is not a vowel. A double consonant is when a word that has two of the same consonant together in the word, such as little or happy, or even Mississippi.
A consonant blend is self-explanitory, it is a series of consanants that are pronounced all together, so 'shr' is a consonant blend, 'sion' is not a consonant blend.

No, "-rt" is a consonant cluster, not a final consonant blend. A final consonant blend is two or more consonants at the end of a word that blend together, such as "ft" in "left."
A consonant digraph is a combination of two consonant letters that together represent a single sound. Examples include "th," "ch," and "sh." The letters in a digraph work together to create a unique sound that is different from the individual sounds of the letters.
Well since L is a consonant and there are two L's together, I guess the answer would be "yes".
