Double consonants are pairs of identical consonant letters that appear together in a word, such as "ss" in "hiss," "tt" in "butter," or "ll" in "ball." They often indicate a change in pronunciation or syllable division, helping to distinguish between words with similar spellings but different meanings, like "desert" (noun) and "dessert" (noun). In some languages, double consonants can affect the length or quality of the preceding vowel sound.
