When "y" follows a vowel, it often functions as a consonant, such as in the words "cry" and "myth." "Y" typically represents a consonant sound in this position, even though it is often considered a vowel.
All words have to have a vowel in them. The five orthodox ones are a,e,i,o,u. However in words such as 'why' and 'sky', the 'y' can be taken to be the vowel. Y is considered a semi-vowel.
No, "Y" is not typically considered a vowel in the English language, although it can sometimes act as a vowel in certain words or contexts.
