consonants

The more common way of doing multiple consonants are by using glyphs known as consonant clusters or conjuncts[5].

Devanagari has tons of glyphs which are logically broken up into consonants, modifying diacritics, and bare vowels.

There aren't individual Unicode codepoints for this, not even codepoints for the straight-tail form of the consonants.

How about putting all the vowels in a middle row and the consonants in natural order?

Marathi/Hindi/Sanskrit (which use devanagari) have a bunch of basic consonants and some vowels (which can appear independently or as modifiers).

Is this really a instance of consonants versus vowels or an instance of a large group versus a small group?

One non-technical solution, that people use to ensure that deaf people can understand you clearly is to enunciate consonants audibly.

Combinations of letters which alternate between vowels and consonants are typically at least somewhat pronounceable.

P (English) and Р (Russian) should unify even though they represent different consonants.

Ie, consonants have an inherent vowel (/ɔ/ in the case of Bengali), which can be overriden with a diacritic representing a different vowel.

I recall reading that vowels are easier to hear than consonants or maybe it is vice versa?

Generally words ending with consonants are only seen in onomatopoeia and whatnot.

Traditionally, the definite article ("the") is also clitic, with one pronunciation before consonants and a different pronunciation before vowels.

This is particularly an issue in Bengali, where sounds that might be consonants in English (like "r" and "l") can be either consonants or vowels in Bengali, depending on the word.

When someone says "Just Duck It", though, I always think they got their consonants wrong and want me to give up.

Double final consonants 닭, and all the "Consonant assimilation" stuff.
