The document discusses consonant digraphs, specifically the digraphs "CH" and "GH". It explains that a consonant digraph combines two consonant letters to make a single consonant sound. Regarding "CH", it produces the sounds /払/, /k/, and // in different words, and provides many examples. The digraph "GH" can represent /g/, /f/ or be silent, with rules governing its pronunciation depending on its position in a word. Specific common words demonstrating each sound or silence are outlined.

Consonant Digraphs Made by Abdimominov M
What is Digraph? A consonant digraph is a combination of two consonant letters that form a single consonant speech sound (technically known as a consonant phoneme). Sometimes the combination results in one letter becoming silent, but many times the pairing produces a unique sound that neither letter would form on its own.
Digraph -CH The digraph CH forms three distinct phonemes: /払/, /k/, and //. There are few reliable spelling patterns that indicate when CH will form one sound over another, so we simply have to memorize the different pronunciations. Below, well look at some common examples of each.
Producing the sound /払/ The most common sound made by CH is /払/, which is formed by first pressing the tip of the tongue against the roof of the mouth before forcing air through (to form the /t/ sound) and then quickly pressing the sides of the tongue against the top teeth and constricting the back of the throat (to form the // [SH] sound). This is why the symbol for /払/ is a combination of /t/ and //. CH often comes after T when it makes this sound (forming a trigraph), but it can also do so on its own.

DIGRAPH CH as K Producing the sound /k/ Less often, CH produces the same sound as a K or hard C, transcribed in IPA as /k/. This sound almost always occurs when CH appears at the beginning or in the middle of a word. For example: Beginning PositionMid Positionchemistry(/km肘stri/)choir(/kwa肘r/)chord(/k rd/)chorus(/krs/)Christmas(/kr肘sms/)anchor(/脱 kr/)archive(/rka肘v/)psyche(/sa肘ki/)psychology(/sa肘 kl覆i/)schedule(/sk覆l/)*synchronize(/s肘krna肘 z/)technology(/tknl覆i/)
THE SOUND // Producing the sound // Even less commonly, CH can be pronounced // (like the digraph SH), usually (but not always) when it appears between two vowels. For instance: brochure (/bror/) chef (/f/) machine (/min/) mustache (/mst脱/) parachute (/prut/)
DIGRAPH -GH The digraph GH can form two sounds/g/ and /f/and can also be silent. GH only makes the hard /g/ sound when it is at the beginning of a syllable (and usually the beginning of a word). However, when GH follows vowels within the same syllable, it can either be silent or produce the /f/ soundthe spelling alone will not dictate which pronunciation it yields, making it a particularly difficult digraph to learn.
The hard /g/ sound is not very common for the digraph GH, but there are a few common words in which it appears: aghast (/g脱st/) ghetto (/gto/) gherkin (/grk肘n/) ghost (/gost/)
The /f/ phoneme is also not common for this digraph. When GH is pronounced this way, it almost always comes after the vowels OU. For example: cough (/kf/) enough (/肘nf/) rough (/rf/)
Silent GH The most common pronunciation for GH is actually none at all. While the /g/ and /f/ pronunciations of the digraph are relatively uncommon, there are many words in which GH is silent. Like the /f/ pronunciation, silent GH also appears after OU and AU, but it also follows the vowels AI, EI, and I. Be careful, though; even though several words may have the same vowels coming before silent GH, not all of them have the same pronunciation. For example: OU + GHAU + GHAI + GHEI + GHI bought(/bt/)dough(/do/)fought(/ft/)ought(/t/)through(/慮ru/)ca ught(/kt/)daughter(/dtr/)fraught(/frt/)haughty(/hti/)naughty(/ nti/)straight(/stre肘t/)eight(/e肘t/)neighbor(/ne肘br/)height(/ha肘t/)s leight(/sla肘t/)weigh(/we肘/)bright(/bra肘t/)high(/ha肘/)night(/na肘t/)sig ht(/sa肘t/)thigh(/慮a肘/)
