Gujarati is spoken by Gujaratis in the India state of Gujarat, Mumbai and many other parts of the world. The Gujarati alphabet is composed of 14 vowels and 34 consonants.
Let's start with vowels.
In Gujarati, vowels are also called Swar (સ્વર). Independent vowels in Gujarati are written as separate letters and can be pronounced independently by themselves. Dependent vowels, on the other hand, can be placed either before, or after, or on top, or below a consonant so that it can be pronounced.
In Gujarati, they are called `Vyanjan (વ્યંજન)`. Consonants by themselves cannot be pronounced. Therefore, it is accompanied by an inherent vowel.
Gujarati numerals are the symbols used to write numbers in the Gujarati script. They are also used to write decimal numbers, instead of the latin numbers.
