Question 1

Which letters are counted as consonants?

Accepted Answer

All 26 English letters except the vowels A, E, I, O, U. That gives 21 consonants: B, C, D, F, G, H, J, K, L, M, N, P, Q, R, S, T, V, W, X, Y, Z. Y is classified as a consonant in this count (it can optionally be treated as a vowel in the vowels counter).

Question 2

What is the consonant-to-vowel ratio in English?

Accepted Answer

English text has roughly 60–62% consonants and 38–40% vowels by letter count. Consonant clusters (str-, thr-, spl-) are characteristic of English and Germanic languages. Languages like Hawaiian and Polynesian have much higher vowel ratios.

Question 3

Can this tool analyze text in other languages?

Accepted Answer

The tool counts letters A–Z (consonants) and A, E, I, O, U (vowels) based on English definitions. For other languages, the definition of consonant and vowel differs, and non-Latin scripts require different rules entirely.
