Don't think those are separate letters. Just pronounced differently. I mean, rr is just 2 r's. Not a new letter. And this isn't an ß-type case either. Phonetically different, yes. Different letters? Creo que no. Could be wrong, though. Hispanohablantes de Lemmy, corrijanme

    In Spanish, up until 1994, "ll" and "ch" were considered distinct letters from the component parts. But "rr" has never been considered distinct from "r," even though it is pronounced differently, in large part because no words start with "rr" and any word that starts with "r" is pronounced with the rolling R sound.

    Aren't all R's rolling, though? Some longer and some shorter. I.e. rr and r. Guess I get it, though. Words starting with a single 'r' are pronounced like 'rr'. Interesting on the 'll' and 'ch' bits, too. Wasn't aware ¡Gracias, RAE!

    No, single r is tapped not rolled. It's similar but still a different sound

    Oh, okay. Sounds similar. Sounds like rolling, but just once. Rolling if you turn off the looping option. I am not a linguist, though, so I don't know the intricacies of sounds
