Linguistics & Pronunciation

Gy is the thirteenth letter of the Hungarian alphabet, preceding h and following g. It represents a voiced palatal plosive /ɟ/. In Hungarian, the letter's name is "dyay."

Usage

This is the only way it is used in Hungarian. In Hungarian, even if two characters are put together to make a different sound, they are considered one letter, and acronyms keep the letter intact.
