Hi, Guest.
From the point of view of phonetics, that is, taking into account how these letters sound, "y" and "w" are called "approximants" or "semivowels" in English. We are referring here to the sounds, not to their graphic representation.
There are also 12 vowel sounds and 8 dipthongs (or 9, depending on the author).
