A vowel is any of the following letters: a, e, i, o, u,and sometimes y.

Vowels are speech sounds produced without any obstacles in the vocal tract, while consonants are speech sounds produced with partial or complete obstruction in the vocal tract. Vowels are typically the building blocks of syllables, while consonants provide the structure and support for vowels in forming words. English has 5 vowels (a, e, i, o, u) and the remaining letters are consonants.
