The vowels are a,e,i,o & u. And also, sometimes y acts as a vowel. So the number of vowels is 5+1.

Similarly, the other alphabets except a, e, i, o & u are consonants. They are b,c,d,f,g,h,j,k,l,m,n,p,q,r,s,t,v,w,x & z. And also, y mostly acts as a consonant. Therefor, the total number of consonants is 20+1.

You must aware of the dual role of Y, which will help you to learn spelling rules as well as pronunciations.

Also, some alphabets start with vowel pronunciation. They are: f, h, l, m, n, r, s & x.  All of here affect the spelling rules and more importantly, r is the game player. This is because r (ऋ) is also a vowel in the Indian language.
