Used between two velarized ("broad") consonants:
Used between two platalized ("slender") consonants:
Used between a broad and a slender consonant:
Used between a slender and a broad consonant:
⟨chth⟩ is used for an initial sound /θ/ in English words of Greek origin such as chthonian. When not initial, it is pronounced /kθ/, as in autochthonous.
⟨dcg’⟩ was used in the 1987 orthography of Juǀʼhoansi for the click [ᶢǀʢ].
⟨dçg’⟩ was used in the 1987 orthography of Juǀʼhoansi for the click [ᶢǂʢ].
⟨ddzs⟩ is a long variant of Hungarian dzs. It is only found in suffixed words, such as bridzs + dzsel → briddzsel "with the bridge game"; otherwise the sound [dːʒ] is written ⟨dzs⟩ like [dʒ].
⟨dqg’⟩ was used in the 1987 orthography of Juǀʼhoansi for the click [ᶢǃʢ].
⟨dsch⟩ is used in German to write the sound [dʒ].

⟨eeuw⟩ and ⟨ieuw⟩ are used in Dutch for the sounds [eːu̯] and [iːu̯]. ⟨Uw⟩ alone stands for [yːu̯], so these sequences are not predictable.
⟨gqx’⟩ is used in the practical orthography of the Taa language, where it represents the prevoiced affricate [ɢqχʼ].
⟨illi⟩ is used in French to write the sound [j] in a few words such as médaillier [medaje].
⟨kngw⟩ is used for /ᵏŋʷ/ in Arrernte.
⟨ndlh⟩ is found in the Romanized Popular Alphabet used to write Hmong, representing the prenasalized aspirated consonant [ndˡʱ].
⟨ng’w⟩ is used for [ŋʷ] in Swahili-based alphabets.
⟨nplh⟩ is found in the Romanized Popular Alphabet used to write Hmong, representing the prenasalized aspirated consonant [mbˡʱ].

⟨ntxh⟩ is found in the Romanized Popular Alphabet used to write Hmong, representing the prenasalized aspirated consonant [ndzʱ].
⟨nyng⟩ is used in Yanyuwa to write a pre-velar nasal, [ŋ̟].
⟨phth⟩ is read as an initial sound /θ/ or /fθ/ in English words of Greek origin such as phthisis. When not initial, it is usually pronounced /fθ/, as in naphthol., although sometimes /pθ/ can be heard.[1]
⟨rtnw⟩ is used for /ʈɳʷ/ in Arrernte.
⟨s-c⟩ and ⟨s-cc⟩ are used in Piedmontese for the sequence /stʃ/.
⟨s-ch⟩ is used in the Puter dialect of the Romansh language (spoken in the Upper Engadin area in Switzerland) for the sequence /ʃtɕ/. While the orthography using this tetragraph is no longer official, it is retained in place names like S-chanf.
⟨s-g⟩ and ⟨s-gg⟩ are used in Piedmontese for the sequence /zdʒ/.
⟨thsh⟩ is used in Xhosa to write the sound [tʃʰ]. It is often replaced with the ambiguous trigraph ⟨tsh⟩.
