Twenty Six!
The answer to the question “How Many Are Indonesian Alphabets?” is twenty six.
Indonesian language adopted the same alphabet system as many other languages in the world by using Latin characters. There is no additional or special characters used in Indonesian. All are the same.
Indonesian alphabet system consists of 21 consonants and 5 vowels.
However, how to spell the alphabets is a bit different from English language. For example, how to spell “Y” or how to read “U” are different.
Also, there are a system of double consonants such as “NG” and “NY” and double vowels like “AU”. How to pronounce this will need some practice.

How To Pronounce Indonesian Alphabets
Not so difficult. Even they are a bit different from English but basically almost the same.
Anyway, as the pronunciation is about sound, then it can not be explained by words. Therefore, you can just play the below MP3 file.
It’s not the best quality as I recorded using my old smartphone but I think you can still hear quite clearly. The size is 238 Kilobyte only. Don’t forget to turn on your speakers.
So now, you can practice by your own.
Enjoy.
