स्वर या व्यंजन: vowel or consonant — Hindi worksheet

Children sort letters into स्वर (vowels) and व्यंजन (consonants), pick the one vowel among consonants and spot the odd one out. This lesson uses the 11 vowels अ to औ; अं and अः are left out because books group them in different ways.

याद रखें

स्वर अपने आप बोले जाते हैं — “a vowel can be said on its own; a consonant needs a vowel (क = क् + अ)”

  1. स्वर: अ आ इ ई उ ऊ ऋ ए ऐ ओ औ.
  2. Every other letter of the वर्णमाला — क to ह, and क्ष त्र ज्ञ — is a व्यंजन.
  3. Odd one out: three letters are of one kind; the fourth is the other kind.

Use it for: Understanding how Hindi letters work before learning matras (a matra is a vowel joined to a consonant).

Worked example: ‘क’ स्वर है या व्यंजन? (Is क a vowel or a consonant?) → व्यंजन

  1. स्वर (vowels): अ आ इ ई उ ऊ ऋ ए ऐ ओ औ. बाकी अक्षर व्यंजन (consonants) हैं: क ख ग …
  2. ‘क’ व्यंजन है।

Check: क is not one of अ आ इ ई उ ऊ ऋ ए ऐ ओ औ, so it is a व्यंजन ✓
