A silent consonant is one included in the spelling but not pronounced. Examples include the final b in dumb and lamb, or the initial k in knife and knight.

A silent consonant is a letter in a word that is not pronounced when the word is spoken. For example, the "k" in the word "knight" or the "b" in the word "doubt" are silent consonants.
