The long I sound may be created by I, or Y, or by these combinations:

IE words (die, lie, pie)

EI words (stein, fraulein)

AY words from French (bayou, cayenne)

EY words such as geyser and Cheyenne

UY words such as buy and guy

* also with the silent letters IGH and IGHT (high, sigh, light, might)
