A, E, I, O, U ... and sometimes Y

Ross

I believe the answer is:

vowels

(Other definitions for vowels that I've seen before include "Speech sounds made with the vocal tract open" , "A e i o u" , "'Five letters, not consonants (6)'" , "aeiou" , "Five speech sounds" .)

I've seen this clue in The New York Times.
