Abjad (문자) - Konsonan (자음) 1

Part 1 | Part 2

Previously we have learned about vowels. In this article we will learn about some consonants. The topic about consonants is split into two parts.

Konsonan (자음)

There are 21 consonants in Indonesian. A standalone consonant cannot be pronounced. On the following table, we join all consonants with a vowel a (아) for the "sound" column. To make learning easier, we have the consonants divided into serveral parts. The following table contains 11 basic consonants.

자음	이름	sound
b	bé (베)	바
d	dé (데)	다
g	gé (게)	가
j	jé (제)	자
r	ér (에르)	라
h	ha (하)	하
n	én (엔)	나
m	ém (엠)	마
s	és (에스)	사
