\nWEEK SIX (6)
\n<\/strong>SPEECH WORK
\n<\/strong>TOPIC: – CLUSTERS OF TWO CONSONANTS OCCUR INITALLY & FINALLY
\n<\/strong>In many Nigeria languages, there is no consonant cluster but in English, there may be an initial cluster of two or three consonants. In some English vowels, it is not easy to identify consonant cluster by merely looking at the written form of the word. Such words manifest the cluster only when they are pronounced. The following are example: bitten, coffin, garden, raffle, peddle, little, bangle,

\nIn an English word, there may be a consonant at the end of a word. While two or three consonant can occur at the beginning of a word in English the language permits at most four consonants in a cluster at the end of a word. This can be expressed as: ( C 0 – 3<\/sup> ) v ( C 0 \u2013 4<\/sup> ) or ( CCC) V (CCCC).
