somehow both

as vocal "i" - happiness – happy
as consonant "j" - yellow

Since the printing press as a substitute letter of english "þ" - ye olde shoppe, instead of þe/the olde shoppe.
In German also as sustiture of older "ij" first as ÿ then y.

It is one of the youngest letters in the Latin alphabet,
it has some history (Phoenicia, Etruscan, Greek, Roman, German, etc. e.g. Turkey)

 

I don’t consider myself to be the dimmest of the Dimm brothers, yet I have no idea what you lot are rattling on about. All of you , what are you on ?

Y...?

 

No It's a Y font!

FTFY!

 

What does Delilah think?

 

As we were taught the vowels are AEIOU and sometimes Y as @rsubadura says.

 

Just don't ask her with a knife in your hand

 

No ... Africa Asia Europe etc, that's all

 

It's not a vowel, so...

 

It depends what it identifies as!

 

Thinking about this, if Y does two jobs, does H do F all?

 

Is "haitch" or "aitch" doing nowt?

 

That's like saying"I" should have different letters for it depending on the sound in a particular word and in that sense, the rest of them as well.

 

Ask an EastEnders what comes between G and I and they'd say "Oh, leave it aaaht..."

 

He's been dropped..!
