===Consonants===
Consonants (''vyañjana'') are grouped in accordance with the traditional, linguistically based [[Sanskrit]] scheme of arrangement, which considers the usage and position of the tongue during their [[pronunciation]]. In sequence, these categories are: [[Velar consonant|velar]], [[palatal]], [[retroflex]], [[Dental consonant|dental]], [[labial consonant|labial]], [[sonorant]] and [[fricative]]. Among the first five groups, which contain the [[Stop consonant|stop]]s, the ordering starts with the [[Aspiration (phonetics)|unaspirated]] [[Voice (phonetics)|voiceless]], then goes on through aspirated voiceless, [[unaspirated]] [[voiced]], and aspirated voiced, ending with the [[nasal stop]]s. They all have a Devanagari counterpart.<ref>{{cite web |title=Sanskrit Alphabet |url=http://www.user.uni-hannover.de/nhtcapri/sanskrit-alphabet.html |website=www.user.uni-hannover.de |access-date=14 March 2020 |archive-date=22 September 2013 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20130922132212/http://www.user.uni-hannover.de/nhtcapri/sanskrit-alphabet.html |url-status=dead }}</ref>

* Letters can take names by suffixing કાર ''kār''. The letter ર ''ra'' is an exception; it is called રેફ ''reph''.{{sfn|Dwyer|1995|p=18}}
* Starting with ક ''ka'' and ending with જ્ઞ ''jña'', the order goes:{{sfn|Cardona|Suthar|2003|p=668}}
:Plosives & Nasals (left to right, top to bottom) → Sonorants & Sibilants (top to bottom, left to right) → Bottom box (top to bottom)
*The final two are compound characters that happen to be traditionally included in the set. They are indiscriminate as to their original constituents, and they are the same size as a single consonant character.
* Written (V)''h''V sets in speech result in murmured V̤(C) sets (''see [[Gujarati phonology#Murmur]]''). Thus (with ''ǐ'' = ''i'' or ''ī'', and ''ǔ'' = ''u'' or ''ū''): ''ha'' → {{IPA|[ə̤]}} from {{IPA|/ɦə/}}; ''hā'' → {{IPA|[a̤]}} from {{IPA|/ɦa/}}; ''ahe'' → {{IPA|[ɛ̤]}} from {{IPA|/əɦe/}}; ''aho'' → {{IPA|[ɔ̤]}} from {{IPA|/əɦo/}}; ''ahā'' → {{IPA|[a̤]}} from {{IPA|/əɦa/}}; ''ahǐ'' → {{IPA|[ə̤j]}} from {{IPA|/əɦi/}}; ''ahǔ'' → {{IPA|[ə̤ʋ]}} from {{IPA|/əɦu/}}; ''āhǐ'' → {{IPA|[a̤j]}} from {{IPA|/ɑɦi/}}; ''āhǔ'' → {{IPA|[a̤ʋ]}} from {{IPA|/ɑɦu/}}; etc.
