It usually has a long I when preceded by a consonant (by, my, nylon, python) and in a stressed syllable. In words with single F-Y it is always a long I sound, and in words made with the word BY.
When paired with a vowel (A, E, O) the Y forms a diphthong sound (AY=A EY=A or E, OY= OI). With U, it may be an I sound (buy, guy) or an E (soliloquy).
Examples of Y as I:
fly, cry
bylaw, hereby
dye, lye, rye
defy, rely
buy, guy
