Telugu Alphabets and Their Pronunciation

Introduction & Vowels

Telugu language has 56 characters which includes vowels and consonants. But in the table below you will find only 52 characters because the others are not most commonly used and also I didn't remember them. The first 16 characters are the most commonly used vowels in Telugu language. And the rest are the consonants.

In the following table you can see Telugu letter and corresponding English representation. English letters try to help you learn the pronunciation. In most of the cases these English representation is what you would use to write Telugu in English using TeluguLipi Editor. To hear the actual sound (wav file) of a letter, click on the corresponding Telugu character.
