Some major conjunct consonants in the Brahmi script.

Conjunct consonants are a type of letters, used for example in Brahmi or Brahmi derived modern scripts such as Balinese, Bengali, Devanagari, Gujarati, Tibetan, Dzongkha etc to write consonant clusters such as Шаблон:IPA or Шаблон:IPA. Although most of the time, letters are formed by using a simple consonant with the inherent value vowel "a" (as with "k" Файл:Brahmi k.svg, pronounced "ka" in Brahmi), or by combining a consonant with an vowel in the form of a diacritic (as with "ki" Файл:Brahmi letter Ki.svg in Brahmi), the usage of conjunct consonant permits the creation of more sophisticated sounds (as with "kya" Файл:Brahmi Kya.jpg, formed with the consonants k Файл:Brahmi k.svg and y Файл:Brahmi y.svg assembled vertically). Conjuncts are often used with loan words. Native words typically use the basic consonant and native speakers know to suppress the vowel.

In modern Devanagari the components of a conjunct are written left to right when possible (when the first consonant has a vertical stem that can be removed at the right), whereas in Brahmi characters are joined vertically downwards.

Some simple examples of conjunct consonants in Devanagari are: Шаблон:Lang (Шаблон:Transliteration), Шаблон:Lang (Шаблон:Transliteration), Шаблон:Lang (Шаблон:Transliteration), where the vertical stroke of the first letter is simply lost in the combination. Sometimes, conjunct consonants are not clearly derived from the letters making up their components: the conjunct for Шаблон:Transliteration is Шаблон:Lang and for Шаблон:Transliteration it is Шаблон:Lang.

Some examples of conjunct consonants in Gujarati are: Шаблон:Lang (Шаблон:Transliteration) (where a stroke of the first letter is lost in the combination), Шаблон:Lang (Шаблон:Transliteration), Шаблон:Lang (Шаблон:Transliteration). Sometimes, conjunct consonants are not clearly derived from the letters making up their components: the conjunct for Шаблон:Transliteration is Шаблон:Lang and for Шаблон:Transliteration it is Шаблон:Lang.

Conjunct consonants are used in many other scripts as well, usually derived from the Brahmi script. In Balinese, conjunct consonants are called Haksara Wrehastra.
