There are none.
The double L in llama is not technically silent. The LL is a separate "letter" pronounced as Y in Spanish. When the word was picked up in English, most people pronounced it as (lah-ma) because there is no separate LL sound.
This is also seen in the word "llano" (prairie), pronounced (lah-no) whereas the Spanish term is llanos (yah-nos).

∙ 11y agoThe silent L appears in salmon, calf, half, could, would, and should.
The L provides an AW sound in caulk, talk, walk, chalk and in solder, so it is not actually silent, just pronounced differently than it was originally. The same applies to dialects that do not pronounce the L in palm and calm.
