Conjunct consonants are a form of orthographic ligature characteristic of the Brahmic scripts. They are constructed of more than two consonant letters. Biconsonantal conjuncts are common, but longer conjuncts are increasingly constrained by the languages' phonologies and the actual number of conjuncts observed drops sharply. Ulrich Stiehl includes a five-letter Devanagari conjunct र्त्स्न्य (rtsny)[1] among the top 360 most frequent conjuncts found in Classical Sanskrit;[2] the complete list appears below. Conjuncts often span a syllable boundary, and many of the conjuncts below occur only in the middle of words, where the coda consonants of one syllable are conjoined with the onset consonants of the following syllable.
^As in Sanskrit word कार्त्स्न्य (In Bengali Script কার্ৎস্ন্য), meaning "The Whole, Entirety"
