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.
