Consonants
Independently, all consonants are written with a हलन्त or विराम (i.e. a '\' underneath). When a vowel is attached to a consonant, the हलन्त is removed.
Consonants in alphabetical order
In Devanagari, the placement of consonants in alphabetical order are horizontally grouped in accordance with the body part where their sounds originate from.
