It depends on which alphabet you're talking about.
In the Latin alphabet, the consonants are: b,c,d,f,g,h,j,k,l,m,n,p,q,r,s,t,v,w,x,y,z. (w and y are sometimes referred to as semi-vowels or glides).
In the Hebrew alphabet, all of the letters are considered consonants.
Consonants: B C D F G H J K L M N P Q R S T V W X Y ZVowels: A E I O U (sometimes Y; some people also include W and/or H as semivowels)
Glides: Some people count H W and Y as glides, and not consonants.
There are 21 in the English alphabet, B C D F G H J K L M N P Q R S T V W X Y Z
It depends on which alphabet you are talking about.
In English, it's B.
what is the ratio of the numbers vowels to the number of consonants in the english alphabet
24 of the thousands of hieroglyphics are called unilaterals, and they can be considered an early type of alphabet, but they only had consonants. The first Alphabet to include vowels was the Greek Alphabet, thousands of years later.
It's really not similar at all. The Phoenician alphabet has 22 consonants and no vowels. The only similarity is that the English alphabet is a version of the Latin alphabet which was adapted from the Greek alphabet alphabet which was adapted from the Phoenician alphabet.
I believe you mean consonants and no there is 23 excluding y as a consonant.
If you are referring only to the letters of the Alphabet, then depending on dialect and definition, there are about 16. If you are referring to the spoken language, it also depends on dialect and how you define pure consonants. I count 22 (23 if you think r is a pure consonant).
