Vowel

From Simple English Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

All the letters in the alphabet are either vowels or consonants.

  • All these letters are vowels:
A, E, I, O, U (and sometimes Y)
  • The rest of the letters of the alphabet are called consonants:
B, C, D, F, G, H, J, K, L, M, N, P, Q, R, S, T, V, W, X, (sometimes Y), and Z

In the word yellow, y is a consonant. In the word happy, y is a vowel.
