Vowels ( svaram)
Note
When combined with vowel diacritics some consonants change shape. This doesn't happen in
the simplified version of the script (in blue)
Consonants ( vyanjanam)
A chillu or chillaksharam represents pure consonants independently, without help of a virama.
Unlike a consonant represented by an ordinary consonant letter, these consonants are never
followed by an inherent vowel.
