However, there are a few cases that might appear similar:
* Consonant clusters: Portuguese has consonant clusters like "ch", "lh", "nh", "rr", "ss" and "sc". These are pronounced as single sounds, not as double consonants.
* Digraphs: Some digraphs like "cc" and "gg" can occur in Portuguese, but they are not considered double consonants as they represent distinct sounds.
Therefore, it is accurate to say that Portuguese does not have double consonants.
