I'm sure YOU must realise that y is a consonant not a vowel!

EAU french for water
Techinically y is both a consonant and a vowel.
In the English language, there are five main vowels: A E I O U and sometimes Y. Eg. In 'cycle' or 'baby' Y acts as a vowel but in 'yell' or 'yes' Y acts as a consonant. There are 12 monophthongs and 8 diphthongs make up for total of 20 vowels.
I'll make a list of words without vowels:
English vowel types are back, front, and rounded. Back vowels are a, o and u; front vowels are e and i; rounded vowels are o and u. The designations "long" and "short" are not suited to English vowels, although they are used commonly enough.
The alphabet has 5 vowels :
1. a
2. e
3. i
4. o
5. u
The English inventory icludes six shor vowels (all pure), thirteen relatively long (five pure vowels and eight diphthongs), and one borderline case - /æ/ - sometimes long in certain contexts
Ad, am, an, as, at, ax, ex, id, if, in, is, it, of, oh, on, or, ox, up and us are 2 letter words. They begin with a vowel.
