What letters are silent in rhyme?
The word "rhyme" contains a silent H. Technically, when there's an RH bond at the beginning of a certain syllable or word, the H becomes silent because RH isn't a consonant blend and it's also not a consonant digraph. Sometimes, although it contains the RH bond, the H is pronounced, which is when the RH bond is a separate syllable like superhero. If the word contains the CH, SH, etc. bond, then the H isn't considered silent because it's put into a consonant digraph.There's a mysterious problem about the Y. The Y may look like it's silent but actually, the Y isn't silent. Some people may think that way because the Y is a consonant which cuts through the syllable, but there's a fun trick behind the Y. Y is generally a consonant but it can sometimes behave like a vowel, so Y is considered as a semi-vowel, but not a real vowel. When Y begins a certain syllable or word like yellow, yarn, yearn, year, yield, yes, yet, yard, mayor, layer, player, etc., then it's considered as a consonant as general. When Y is through a certain syllable or if it ends a certain syllable or word like byte, hymn, type, lymph, nymph, Lyn, lynx, larynx, dye, Hyde, krypton, synth, Tyler, Taylor, hyper, python, dynamic, lyric, hypothesis, cyber, cry, try, tray, play, day, may, pay, hay, key, etc., then it's considered as a vowel. However, when the Y begins a certain syllable or word, it can sometimes still behave like a vowel, which is when the following letter is a consonant like yttrium, ytterbium, etc., so the Y is a consonant when it begins a certain syllable or word but also if the following letter is a vowel. In this case, the Y is not silent in "rhyme" because Y is a semi-vowel,Technically, the H is only the silent letter in the word "rhyme".
