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.
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).

It depends on the language. In English, 21 letters of the alphabet respresent consonsonants (if you include H, W and Y as consonants)

In the English alphabet, the ratio is 21/5 .
There are 21 consonants 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). There are a total of 26 letters in the English alphabet. To find the fraction of the alphabet that is made up of consonants, you would divide the number of consonants by the total number of letters, which gives you 21/26. Therefore, approximately 80.77% of the English alphabet is made up of consonants.
No, "t" is a consonant. In the English alphabet, consonants are all letters except for the vowels (a, e, i, o, u).
