Best Answer

The Y is often a long I at the end of words, such as cry, try, fly, deny, and rely.

It is also long in silent E words such as bye, dye, rye, rhyme, and byte, and in longer words such as gyrate and zygote.

Who made the rule of y as a long I?

This was a function of the change from Old English (a written language). The vowel Y became widely used to represent the long I sound in Middle English. The Y lost its distinct sound, and words spelled with Y became spelled with I (e.g. gyldan - gild) and vice versa. In some cases, the Y remains in British English but not US English (tyre-tire).
