How many consonants in Punjabi?

It's tricky to give an exact number of consonants in Punjabi because it depends on how you define a consonant and how you count them.

Here's a breakdown:

* The Punjabi alphabet (Gurmukhi) has 35 letters.

* Many of these letters represent consonants. However, some represent vowel sounds, and some represent consonant clusters.

* Consonant clusters are counted as one letter in the alphabet, but they represent two or more consonant sounds. For example, "ksha" is one letter, but it represents the sounds "k" and "sh".

Therefore, if you only count individual consonant sounds, there are more than 35 consonants in Punjabi. However, if you count each letter in the alphabet, there are 35 consonants.

It's important to remember that languages are complex, and there isn't always a simple answer to questions like this.
