The letter y is often used as a substitute for i (my, happy, myrtle), but its distinctive purpose is purely consonantal.Ī Diphthong is the union of two vowels in one sound. The former often combines with e to represent one of the sounds of u (new, pew), and with a to represent one of the sounds of that letter (saw), and with o to represent long o (snow), or the diphthong ou (cow). Strictly speaking, these are never vowels. Some grammarians add w and y to the list of vowels.
The term consonant implies that we can use this class of letters only with vowels to form syllables. The remaining letters are called consonants. We can perfectly sound the letters of vowels without the aid of another letter. Letters are divided into Vowels and Consonants. The English Alphabet consists of twenty-six letters:Ī, b, c, d, e, f, g, h, i, j, k, l, m, n, o, p, q, r, s, t, u, v, w, x, y, z
