Hi,

I'm not sure I understand the question.

In Spanish LL and RR are usually double letters o digraphs except in a few
cases.

RR are two independent letters when they come from adding a prefix to a
word: inter+relacionar = interrelacionar; hiper+realismo =hiperrealismo,
etc. But the spelling of R and RR is common to many languages: English,
French, etc.

As for LL, there is only an extremly rare combination that gives LL: sal
(imperative of "salir") + le (pronoun) = salle (!). That's a doubtfull
spelling, as "salle" is also a form of verb "sallar".

LL and CH (but not RR) used to be considered "letters" and appeared as such
in the Spanish alphabet. This practice was abandonend in 1992.

Jaume Ortolà
