    has the vowel sounds [i], [ai]. As a consonant, Y has the consonant
    sound [y] (i.e., a semivowel sound), usually at the beginning of the
    word and only in the syllable before a vowel.

    [ai]: by, try, rely, nylon, type;
    [y]: yacht, yard, year, yes, yet, yield, you, young, Yukon.
    Примечание 1: Буква Y
    Буква Y может функционировать как гласная или как согласная.
    Как гласная, Y имеет гласные звуки [i], [ai]. Как согласная, Y имеет
    согласный звук [y] (т.е. полугласный звук), обычно в начале слова
    и только в слоге перед гласной.
    [i]: baby, hurry, lyrics, mystery;
    [ai]: by, try, rely, nylon, type;
    [y]: yacht, yard, year, yes, yet, yield, you, young, Yukon.

    Note 2: The letter W


    The letter W represents the vowel sound [u:] in the diphthongs [au]
    and [ou]: now, how, owl, brown; low, own, bowl.
