This is a very difficult question to answer since all alphabets are not treated similarly in all languages. For example, the "LL" in Welsh may appear to be a repeat of the letter "L" of the English alphabet. However, that is not true: the Welsh "LL" is not double L but a character in its own right. (I have capitalised to avoid confusion with 11).

The German language uses umlauts with its vowels: there is no equivalent in the Roman alphabet that we use. Should they therefore be treated as the same - even if the umlaut alters their pronunciation?

Most languages have more consonants than vowels, but there is no way to generalize, because the numbers vary so much.
