The consonants are pronounced as in English, with the following exceptions:<ref name="pbbasis" />
*'''c''' when before e and i = {{IPA|ie|ts|label=}}: {{lang|ie|cive}}, {{lang|ie|helice}}, and otherwise as {{IPA|ie|k|label=}}
*'''g''' when before e and i = {{IPA|ie|ʒ|label=}}, French j, or English s in pleasure: {{lang|ie|plage}}, {{lang|ie|giraffe}}; but elsewhere c and g are hard as in can, go
*'''ss''' = {{IPA|ie|s|label=}} as in {{lang|ie|pass}}
*'''s''' between vowels = {{IPA|ie|z|label=}}: {{lang|ie|rose}}, {{lang|ie|positiv}}
*'''z''' = {{IPA|ie|dz|label=}}
*'''zz''' = {{IPA|ie|ts|label=}}
*'''ch''' = {{IPA|ie|ʃ|label=}}, English sh: {{lang|ie|chambre}}
*'''j''' = {{IPA|ie|ʒ|label=}}, French j, or English s in pleasure
*'''t''' as {{IPA|ie|t|label=}}, except when followed by ia, io, iu, or ie and not preceded by an s. Thus the t in {{lang|ie|nation}} is pronounced {{IPA|ie|ts|label=}} but in {{lang|ie|bastion}} as {{IPA|ie|t|label=}}.

Other doubled consonants are pronounced as a single consonant, unless when separated they would be pronounced differently. Ex. {{lang|ie|grammatica}} is pronounced as if written {{lang|ie|gramatica}}, but {{lang|ie|acceptar}} and {{lang|ie|suggestion}} are pronounced as if written as '''ac''' followed by '''ceptar''', and '''sug''' followed by '''gestion'''.<ref name="pbgrammar" />
