The letter Y is called a semi-vowel. Except where it has the YUH sound as in yell or yes, it is usually a vowel. It is seen in the digraphs AY, EY, OY, and UY , or as a standalone vowel (short or long I sound) as in by, myth, and rhythm.

In Welsh, the W is used as a vowel with a long OO (long U) sound.
