The silent terminal t is a French characteristic, and in the English language it is found only in words that have been borrowed from the French, such as coup d'état, or Stephen Colbert.
The t is silent in thistle.
T
The most known are tsar (czar) and tsunami.
The letter "t" is often silent when it comes after the letter "s". One example of ths is the word "listen," which is pronounced "liss-en." Another example of a word with a silent "t" after an "s" is "apostle."
In the word "scratch," the silent letter is the "t." The "t" is not pronounced in the word, but it affects the pronunciation of the adjacent "ch" making it a "k" sound. Silent letters in English words can often be traced back to the word's etymology or historical development.
