The Tamil script has 12 vowels (உயிரெழுத்து, uyireḻuttu, “soul-letters”), 18 consonants (மெய்யெழுத்து, meyyeḻuttu, “body-letters”) and one special character, the ஃ (ஆய்த எழுத்து, āytha eḻuttu). ஃ is called “அக்கு”, akku and is classified in Tamil orthography as being neither a consonant nor a vowel.The complete script, therefore, consists of the 31 letters in their independent form and an additional 216 combinant letters, for a total of 247 (12+18+216+1) combinations (உயிர்மெய்யெழுத்து, uyirmeyyeḻuttu, “soul-body-letters”) of a consonant and a vowel, a mute consonant or a vowel alone. Consonants are called the “body” (mei) letters. The consonants are classified into three categories: vallinam (hard consonants), mellinam (soft consonants, including all nasals), and itayinam (medium consonants).
