This is what the name "Emily" looks like in Japanese: It is pronounced "EMIRII". (Consonants are pronounced more or less the same way as in English. "I" sounds like ee in meet, but shorter. "E" sounds like e in met. Double vowels like "II" are held for twice the duration of single vowels.)

On a letter wheel with all 26 English letters equally represented, you have a greater chance of spinning a consonant. There are 5 vowels (a, e, i, o, u) and the semi-vowel Y, and the remaining 20 letters (except in Welsh) are consonants.
A consonant is a sound in spoken language that is characterized by a constriction or closure at one or more points along the vocal tract. The word consonant comes from Latin meaning "sounding with" or "sounding together", the idea being that consonants don't sound on their own, but only occur with a nearby vowel; this conception of consonants, however, does not reflect a modern linguistic understanding, which defines them in terms of vocal tract constrictions. There are a group of consonants called sonorants that sometimes act as vowels, occupying the peak of a syllable, and sometimes act as consonants. For example, in English, the sound [m] in "mud" is a consonant, but in "prism", it occupies an entire syllable, as a vowel would.Ads by Google
Two or more consonants sounding together.
The word contains six vowels and seven consonants. There is one more vowel than consonant.
There are more consonants.
I think that dubious distinction could be awarded to consonants, 21 vowels to 30 consonants in that sentence.
Studying vowels can be more challenging than consonants because vowels are more variable in terms of pronunciation, making them harder to categorize. Consonants have more distinct sounds and fewer variations compared to vowels, which can make them easier to study. Additionally, vowels are characterized by more subtle differences in tongue and lip position, leading to more nuanced distinctions between vowel sounds.
Actually, there are more consonants that there are vowels in the alphabet.
The most obvious is 'rhythm' although there are probably many more.
Theodore Roosevelt
"Usual", "kazoo", and "email" fit this description. There may be many more...
Generally, vowels represent more open sounds that don't require the lips, teeth, or tongue to touch each other. Consonants have a more solid sound that is not nearly as easy to draw out.
The first name has 3 vowels and 7 consonants and in the second name there are only 2 vowels and 3 consonants, the middle name consists of only the consonant 'B' which means that therefore the name Rutherford B Hayes has 5 vowels and 11 consonants, so there are less vowels that consonants.In this context the letter 'y' is not considered a vowel.It is only considered and vowel in words like hymn and mythwhere the letter has an individual sound.
No. languages with the most labial consonants are more easily lipreadable, such as many European languages. Languages that are dominated by vowels, such as Korean, are more challenging.
English alphabet AnswerIF THIS IS NOT a trick question, there are 5 vowels and 21 consonants in the English alphabet, (at the moment!) making a total of 26 letters in the English alphabet.(The number of letters has changed over the centuries, but this is another matter!)The letters a,e,i,o,u, are traditionally called vowels (See Cambridge Advanced Learner's Dictionary) but, to be technical, the vowel 'sound' is also associated with the 'consonants' w and y.(Merriam-Webster's dictionary says: Vowel: a letter or other symbol representing a vowel -usually used in English of a, e, i, o, u, and sometimes y.)IF THIS IS a trick question, and actually means "How many vowels and consonants are in the words 'English alphabet'?", the answers could be:5 vowels and 10 consonants, or3 vowels (2 of which are repeated), plus 8 consonants (2 of which are also repeated)English phonology AnswerThe meaning of the words "vowel" and "consonant" refers to the sounds of a language, not the letters. For example, c and k both have the same sound, so are the same consonant; whilst q has no sound by itself until it's joined to u whereby its sound become kw phonetically.A better question is: How many vowels and consonants are there in the English language?The answer is: it depends on dialect and variation. RP has 24 consonants and 23 vowels, whilst American English has 25 consonants and 19 vowels.The phonology of the English language is a big subject. The link below gives more information, but it is by no means definitive on the matter.See Related links below for more information on the English Alphabet and on English phonology.
