Consonant Clusters

1. WHAT IS A CONSONANT CLUSTER? Definition
	A consonant cluster is a group or sequence of consonants that appear together in a syllable without a vowel between them.

Discussion
	It is important to distinguish between consonant clusters and digraphs with which they are often confused. In contrast to a consonant cluster, a digraph is a group of two or more symbols which really stand for just one sound (usually a consonant).
	In the word chat, the letters c and h appear contiguously but are not a consonant cluster, even though both are separate consonants in other contexts (cat; hat). In this instance, ch is a digraph because the ch sequence represents a single sound in the underlying English sound system.

Examples
	Here are some examples of consonant clusters:
	\sp\ and \ts\ in the word spots \spr\ in the word spray 2.Which is the longest consonant cluster in English?
