The wh- sound begins many interrogative words, such as why, what, when and where. It is not a simple w- sound, more like an hw- ( in who, whose and whom it has become a simple h- ) sound. The letter Y (pronounced wye) may stand for "why" in shorthand or in texting, I suppose, but it is childish anywhere else.
