Not really.
The th in this case has a particular sound to it, like in 'the.'
So it's not like you say 'fater', which it would be if the h was silent. So you say 'fa-ther', making the th sound just like you say in 'the.'
That is, if you know the pronunciation of 'the' !! :)

I heard the term "Da" (silent d on then end? I don't know) quite often when I was in Scotland for several months. Father is still used as a term of address.
The "h" is silent. "tee ree oŋ" quickly together, with short "ee". "oŋ" is the same as "on" in "long".
Physicist Edward Teller is often called the "Father of the H-bomb", but he wasn't working alone.

The silent letter in the word "father" is the "h."
The 'h' is silent as in 'on-ist'
The silent letter, as in not heard, is the U (gilt).However, the UI are actually a vowel pair with the same short I sound.

Yes, the h in homage is silent.
its the letter H is silent
The letter "h" is silent in the word "hour."
The letter "h" is silent in the word "honesty" because it is a silent letter. In English, there are several words where the letter "h" is silent, and "honesty" is one of them. The silent "h" is a historical remnant from the word's origin in Old French.
The silent letters in "honorable" are the "h" and the second "e" (honourable).
The "h" is silent in "ghastly."
The h is silent and the a's are pronounced like they are in the word father. Another way to look at it is "ahhblahhs", with the emphasis on the first syllable!
The "h" is silent in spanish and "j" sounds like "h". nothing else is silent
