Letter y, especially at the end of words is always pronounced like Y In the word myth!
It’s very important because vowels occurring at the end of a word are inflectional endings, that is, they indicate the syntactical (which means that in sentence we know that one word relates to the other because of the concord of forms), function of the word.
