Y (named wye[1] /ˈwaɪ/, plural wyes)[2] is the twinty-fift letter in the ISO basic Latin alphabet (next tae last letter) an represents aither a vowel or a consonant in Inglis.

Name

In Latin, Y wis named Y Graeca "Greek Y". This wis pronoonced as I Graeca "Greek I", syne the classical Greek soond /y/, seemilar tae modren German ü or French u, wis nae a native soond for Latin speakers, an the letter wis ineetially anly uised tae spell foreign wirds. In Romance leids, this history haes led tae the staundart modren name o the letter: Spainyie i griega, French i grec, etc. Alternatively, the oreeginal Greek name upsilon haes an aa been adaptit intae several modren leids sic as German.

Auld Inglis borraeed Latin Y tae write the native Auld Inglis soond /y/ (previously written wi the rune yr ᚣ). The name o the letter mey be relatit tae 'ui' (or 'vi') in various medieval leids; in Middlin Inglis it wis 'wi' /wiː/, which throu the Great Vowel Shift acame the Modren Inglis 'wy' /waɪ/.
