It’s not technically part of the English language, but my creative mom spelled my name without vowels back in the 70’s, when it wasn’t popular. It does, however, contain the “Y”. Khrystl. 💓

Spiderman&Pansy :
Y is a consonant only when it is pronounced as in "yule". Y is a vowel when it is pronounced as in "synchronous" or "rusty". Therefore, "rhythm" has 1 vowel.

The "Y" in Ye Olde is actually the lost English letter "thorn" and it has a "th" sound. So "Ye Olde" is literally pronounced "the old"
