a,e,i,o,u and sometimes y
This depends on what you consider a vowel. If you are referring to the letters themselves in the alphabets, then that's one case. If you are referring to the vowel sounds in English, which may be represented in different was using the English alphabet, then that's a different case.
Case 1: Vowel Letters in the English AlphabetThe 5 traditional vowels are A, E, I, O, and U. However, in English the the letters W and Y can also represent vowel sounds, but they don't always do so. Hence, they may be considered vowels "sometimes".Examples with Y and W as vowels:
- In the word "by" [ˈbɑɪ], the
represents the vowel diphthong [ɑɪ], sometimes called the "Long A" sound. - In the word "cow" [ˈkaʊ], the
represents the vowel sound [ʊ].
Examples where Y and W do not represent vowels:
- In the word "yet" [ˈjɛt], the
represents the semi-vowel sound [j]. - In the word "we" [wi:], the
represents the semi-vowel sound [w].
Using the General American accent as an example, these are some of the vowel sounds that exist, excluding diphthongs:
- [ɑ] (usually [a] in diphthongs) - the A in "father"
- [æ] - the in cat or pan
- [ə] - the in about
- [ɛ] - the
in bet - [e] - the in pay
- [ɜ]* - the in purple or the in bird, usually followed by an
[ɹ] - [i] - the in machine
- [ɪ] - the in big
- [o] - the
in toe - [ɔ] - the
in cost - [u] - the
in cool - [ʊ] - the
in good - [ʌ] - the in bug
- [ɝ] - the
in work - [ɚ] - the
in butter
A, E, I, O, U, and sometimes Y In grade school, I learned it as A, E, I, O, U, and sometimes Y and W We learned that "w" was a vowel in the diphthong "ow" (e.g., cow, clown, frown) and in the diphthong "aw" (e.g., hawk, claw, fawn), but that it could also stand alone as a vowel in some words, although the teacher did not give an example of that.
The word crwth (an instrument) is a word that uses "w" as its only vowel.
== Remove w because w isn't a vowel
There a 26 letters in the English alphabet, and there are five vowels A, E, I, O, U and sometimes Y is counted as a vowel. The other letters are the consonants. The italic/bold letters are the vowels.

As usual, these topics are not always as clear-cut as they appear at first. Vowels are letters if you are considering alphabets, but in language, vowels are sounds, and spoken language preceded written language, as far as anyone can surmise. The standard answer of 5 vowels and sometimes y is a good one, but keep in mind that this isn't necessarily the entire story. The Welsh word crwth appears not to have a vowel, and while it is not strictly speaking English, the word is sometimes used in English. It is pronounced as if the w were oo.
