There are as many different ashes as there are different things to burn.
Typical ash from a piece of wood mainly consists of potassium (bi)carbonate and coal, besides minor other components (mainly carbonates and sulphates from calcium and magnesium).
When extracted with water, the solution is basic and contains mainly potassium bicarbonate.
By the way, this is the process that gave potassium its name: Extraction of wood ash in big pots.
