Why is y not a vowel?

Y is referred to as a semi-vowel because it can be a vowel or a consonant sound. Students may like to refer to it as a 'part-time' vowel. When the 'y' is representing a vowel sound, in isolation or in the vowel teams 'ay', 'ey', 'oy', and the less common 'uy' and 'ye', it is acting as a vowel letter.

Does y say yes or yuh?

The letter 'Y' makes a "yuh" sound (like in "yes") at the beginning of words or syllables (e.g., yes, yellow, beyond) and acts as a vowel (making "ee" or "eye" sounds) in other positions (e.g., happy, sky, system), so it says both, but phonics often teaches the initial consonant sound as a quick "yuh" or even "yee," depending on dialect and teaching method, though the actual sound is a brief vowel-like glide.
