Some words that have a silent "y" are "yacht," "yogurt," and "yolk." These words are pronounced without the "y" sound at the beginning.

The silent letter in "myrtle" is the "y".
The Y is often a long I at the end of words, such as cry, try, fly, deny, and rely. It is also long in silent E words such as bye, dye, rye, rhyme, and byte, and in longer words such as gyrate and zygote.
It is impossible to say for sure because it is silent. Here it is not a consonant.The reason that Y is seen as a consonant in some silent Y words is that its consonant sound (yuh) appears in somepronunciations of longer words (e.g. player, saying).
