y is often refered to as a semi-vowel, but it is widely considered a consonant. For example in words like myth and hymn, it is vowel sounding but in words like young and yes, it is a consonant sounding.

No, C never has a vowel sound :p

EDIT: Even though I agree it's kind of stupid that Y is not a vowel, has all the vowel'ish charecteristics :p

The longest word in the dictionary is "smiles" because there's a mile between each "S"
