silent g - diaphragm
(the g in "diaphragm" is not pronounced: /ˈdaɪəfræm/)

silent t - rapport
(the final t in "rapport" is silent: /ræˈpɔːr/)

Note: some words here have t combined into an affricate (e.g., "posture", "gesture" → /tʃ/) or t spelled in "-tion" pronounced /ʃ/ (e.g., "pronunciation", "interpretation"), but those are not generally described as having a fully silent t. If you want those flagged too, I can list them.
