Consonant letters comprise six hard ones (க்,ச்,ட்,த்,ப்,and ற்), six soft ones (ங்,ஞ்,ண்,ந்,ம் and ன்) six medials (ய்,ர்,ல்,வ்,ழ்,ள்) The letters அ,இ and உ are used to point to something and hence called சுட்டெழுத்துகள்.

For naming the letters, certain expressions are added to the concerned letter such as அகரம், ஒளகாரம், ஐகான், (all vowels) மஃகான் (special letter) and (consonants). These additions கரம், காரம், கான் and are called சாரியை.
