Hi all
The longest word is TWYNDYLLYNGS
Twyndyllyngs is the longest word in English that doesn’t contain one of the five vowels (AEIOU). It comes from Welsh and is obviously rare, but it does appear in the Oxford English Dictionary.
It turns out that “twyndyllyng” (singular) is a 15th century spelling of the word “twinling,” which means, in modern English, “twin.”
Gym
is that you real name? its really err… ‘different’
Rhythms with an ‘s’ if ya really want to get pickey
lol Ay Has a vowel.
Also y can be called as a vowel 2
P.S. Did you search the WHOLE dictionary? If yes, Then —–
Uhm. One ay has a vowel. A is a vowel. A e i o u
In this case repeating what others is saying is probably stupid, so here is a full explination. In certain words Y is a vowel, in this case all these words Y is a vowel. When there are no other vowels in the word or in the sylable that the Y is in then Y is to stand in and be a vowel. There are a few words that do not have vowels in them at all and they may not be considered words to some but these are the only ones out there, here you go:

hey, i saw ur post. don’t be so pessimistic ’bout these things. at least someone did a good job findind all those words. i kinda like how you gave a shot at that, but can you find at least ONE word without a vowel letter. this is a challenge cos u sound like someone who likes confrntation.
thanks for these words, but my language teacher asked for a hundred words. so, technically i’m like 60 something words short.
Your fucking retarted, you burn on him but you say “no affence” 8=======D
exellent my dear friends thanks for the information my knowledge was very limited about this question but u guys have done a wonderful job

Hate to tell you this but they all have vowels in them as far as i can see, a, e, i, o, u and also when these aren’t in a word y and w act as a vowel. better luck next time aye.

Comment

the tenth word contains a vowel in it
i think “GYM” is d another word which does not contain any vowel but it surely contains “Y” …
u did a great job dude …………
Y IS A VOWEL A E I O U AND SOMETIMES Y
On the list there are two words that have vowels in them for sure. Ay has an A. Clearly has a vowel and also gyve. This word has an E at the end also a vowel. I really trust the person who made this list!
hmm, pst!, shh!, tsk!, and zzz
The vowels in the English language are: A, E, I, O, U and sometimes Y as we all learned and had to memorize when we were in grammar school. Whenever Y has the sound of a vowel, such as in CRY, it is considered a vowel and not a consonant.
Your really stupid.
nth
what abou nth it is a word with a meaning look it up
Hi frndss any word without vowel and without semi vowel Y.
wow just shut up
please anyone ask professors of university
they may know please if i got this word i will take 100 L.E as a reward
Is there an adjective (or even a collective noun to describe the set of devowelled words) which describes words which have no vowels?
Also, crwth rhymes with truth, cwm rhymes with boom, and nth rhymes with tenth, for pronunciation.
Crwth, cwm, and nth are all real English words that do not contain A, E, I, O, U, or Y. W acts as the vowel in crwth and cwm, and as for nth, I’m not so sure… maybe N is the vowel?
But I’m POSITIVE those are all real words, and I’m pretty sure those are the only ones. But maybe there are others?
crwth is a word
you are 10 please shut the fuck up until you know what your talking about.
crwth (kruːθ)
— noun
an ancient stringed instrument of Celtic origin similar to thecithara but bowed in later types
[Welsh; compare Middle Irish crott harp]
you can add “nth”
you can add nth

Actually all those words have vowels.
I can think of loads but I will not list all of them. So I will choose the most simple one.

Mr
No one is perfect in this universe..everything have some their own faults…some of them felt that they are extra features..while some of them felt they are the perfect..while some of them felt wrong but addicted to those… English is also same thing..we have to feel this words without vowels are extra feature to this..and we are not supposed to blame any of our old teachers
in the english languagh the letter known as Y it’s sometimes considered a vowel
i Have asked my english teacher a she alsio said the same thing t here is no word that cant be spelled with ourt using a voweo lets both think and figuer this mystery out
I’m very sorry but since my primary school teacher told me there are no words in the English language without vowels I have been torturing myself to prove her wrong. There are quite a few and everybody knows there are only 5 of them AEIOU. Not Y and not W just five (5). I am 41 years old now!
John
fasciniting Thank You.
Ay and gyve have vowels. And you missed why.
there is no word CRWTH in english language…..
There is a word that has no vowels in it. The word is “crwth”
Talk about bending the rules some of you purists will find any reason to spoli some fun. So let’s forget about consonants, vowels, semi vowels sub vowels them’s all just letters anyways.enjoy English for what it is. Google him says because on internet pwn is used in erro instead of own it is now a word without vowel too. Good lord what next In that case ulj xan akl ti vszl yp school. Roight?
ay and gyve have vowels so now it 33 words.
Lots of you fowks may know your vowels but gee youse can’t even spell tryly shocking!
Why is not on your list so it is 35 words
what about nth
since when the HECK is W a vowel???
and Y is only a vowel if its a the end of a word.
so yes some one this list wouldnt be considered words with no vowels but some are most certainly words withought vowels
A,E,I,O,U are vowel but W & Y also count as semi vowel.Nice trying but didn’t affect.
Loda
y and w are vowels if a e i o or u are not in a word
Sir,
I Need the name without vowels…..plz send me the same.
Almost all words have vowels only a handfl dont..those with numbers dont count
If we’re counting y as a consonant, then sphynx is a cool word with no vowels.
y is a vowel if its at the end of a word so like all ur words are wrong
you do know that ‘AY’ has a vowel
i’m searching for it!!!!………….
i’m also searching for it!!………..
cwm-noun- a crevace in the top of a glacier
crwth is another ward which have no any vowel now. but in this ward w stands for vowel sound Of U letter. atw
tsk
Pwn…..thats a word lol
You fail at life go crawl in a ditch and die, you got two of them wrong
“AY – it has an “A” in it, its a vowel
“GYVE” – it has an “E” in it, its a vowel!
Just give up on yourself ay?
Awesome article on plus size fashion.
Actually, according to english language, if the letter “Y” is at the end of a word, the “Y” is concidered a vowel, wich leaves out many of those words.
gyve
Is not without vowel
E is vowel
Myth, thy are also one of them.
ooookay so y can be used when no other vowels are present allsoooo the first word has an a in it and last time i checked it was
A E I O U and SOMETIMES Y
Yes indeed I knoticed that too.
why is one too
doesnt the 1st word have the vowel”A” in it ?
THERE IS ONE MORE WORD SYMPHYSY
To all the people who think “w” is never used as a vowel I ask: How do you pronounce “vowel”
H1N1 C2
There is a word means Origin but in sanskrit ‘SRDJN” is without a vovel and has a literal meaning in other language too.
….a, e, i, o, u, and sometimes y are vowels… Also after some research the other day i found that w can also be used as a vowel…so none of your words work..
w isn’t a vowel. the vowels are a, e, i, o, u, y. duurrrrrp
Stop being so hard on this person, yeah…ok…..they made a few mistakes but they tried really hard! How would you like it if you tried your best and someone told u to do it again with no mistakes. how would you feel???
GOOD BUT IN THE FIRST WORD AY A IA A VOWEL . THERE ARE MANY OTHER WORDS WITHOUT VOWELS . SEARCH IN NET
AAYUSH
Similarly has an “e”
ummm…………………………………………………………………………….pretty sure a is a vowel. just saying.
“Y” CAN BE SUBSTITUDED AS A VOWEL!! so it doesn’t count
and there is ONE word in the english language that has no vowels including “Y”… and that word is “cwrth” -an ancient Celtic musical instrument with the strings stretched over a rectangular frame, played with a bow.
yup you can google it… don’t trust google… check a dictionary either the old fashion way or on the internet
<3 nicole c
Y is a vowel and a constanant. It acts as the one it needs to be.
It IS a vowel in these cases.
Every proper word has at least one vowel, otherwise it’s basically just noise.
according to facebook,the only word without a vowel is
Crwth…it’s some kind of ancient Celtic instrument.
and in grade school I was taught vowels like this
“A,E,I,O,U, and sometimes Y and W.”
soo,i guess that there are no words that are truly without vowels.
Yeah..um….IN AY, A is definitely a vowel (reguardless of y being a vowel) and in GYVE, there is an E in there, soooooo…..
I do believe there is an “a” in “ay”. In computer slang that is called an epic fail.
there is one word without a vowel of any sort, crwth, an ancient celtic instrument. Dictionary.com that….
A,E,I,O,U, AND SOMETIMES Y.
All those words have vowels in them, especially the first one. Her’s a word that doesn’t have a vowel. Crwth. Google it.
“Y” acts as a consonant only if it’s placed before a vowel, as in “yes” or “yellow” – this is generally the case in modern English. However, Middle English frequently used “y” as a vowel in exchange for “i” (in words like myn or tyme), and, considering that the words in this list use “y” as such, I’d say that they all contain vowels. At any rate, a 15th century Englishman would agree with me.
Well in response, I feel that I should let you know that “definately” is spelled “definitely”. Good try
well y does count as a vowel technically, but if you want a word with no vowels, including y, theres crwth, which is some instrument. check it out on dictionary.com. its real
Actually… The ONLY word without a vowel in the English language is “crwth”… It is an archaic stringed musical instrument, used mostly with Welsh music
uh pretty sure that is not true!
er, y is not a vowel only at the beginning of a word
Actually “y” can be used as a vowel when it makes the sound “eye,” so more than half of the words you have listed have vowels in them… =] But good try you still found a few. That’s more than what I could have thought of.
How about “Crwth.” Its a type of instrument. Although, Y is considered a vowel. Remember, in school “A, E, I, O, U, and sometimes Y.”?
Ever heard, “A, E, I, O, U, and sometimes Y”? Y is in every one of those words..
Crwth – That’s a word with no vowels. Look it up.
Y can be use as a substitute for a vowel, but technically is not a vowel, so your comment would be corrected thus:
I IS A RETUUUUURHHHEED….
HURUHR DEEERRRPPPP…
just saying, but Y is a vowel in about every word you just listed. keep looking!
ummm 9 words down u have ‘gyde’ which houses a pretty little ‘e’ in it =D not to be a party pooper but i’m just saying XD
uh yeah really, and Y can also be a vowel in some cases so really i bet half of those words use Y as a vowel
you’re wrong:
askoxford[dot]com/asktheexperts/faq/aboutother/lettery?view=uk
um… wow. you’re mean.
they made a mistake. lighten up.
Ummm Y only counts as a vowel at the end of the word, duhhh!!!
>Y when there is no other vowel in the word, becomes a vowel.
No, Y becomes a vowel when it acts like a vowel.
The Y in Yogurt is not a vowel. The Y in Happy is a vowel, even though there is another vowel. How many vowels there are in a word has no effect on whether Y is a vowel.
I think I’m going to quote that some day… LOL but at the same time I feel sorry for retarded people.
I’m not sure please tell me. After all, a 2nd grader would know how to use full stops to prevent a run on sentence.
Likewise some might even know how to spell foreign or that America is a name and therefore needs a capital letter. Likewise in the context used in your last sentence you should have used you’re.
Continuing on it would be does not dose and least not lease. I mean does could have been a simple typing error, but e and t aren’t that close for your least mistake.
So please, in the future before you start calling people retards, take a look in the mirror and get into your mind what a real retard looks like.
Y can be a vowel or consonant.
In terms of sound, where Y represents long ee sounds, it obviously becomes a vowel, such as Barry, happy, nappy etc. But it’s a consonant when the sound is actually a Y, like in yeti, yonder and you.
In writing, ‘An yeti’, doesn’t sound right, even though ‘Y’ was originally considered a vowel. This also the case with ‘U’ (when ‘U’ takes the sound of a ‘Y’), whilst ‘an unicorn’ is grammatically correct, it’s a lot easier to say ‘a unicorn’ due to how the rest of the English language works.
So in writing, it is considered a consonant.
You do realize that zzz and shh and what ever else you said are not words, right? Abbreviations aren’t words, and neither are sounds. Y when there is no other vowel in the word, becomes a vowel. You people are all ether really dumb, or failed the first grade when they taught all this. You just got burned by a 13 year old.
Sphynx how could you forget that?
A is a vowel. Several of the words here have the letter A. Those words need to be removed posthaste
Wow… First off let me congratulate you may be one of the most arrogant, self-righteous person ever. First off let’s talk about ghettos, insinuating that because someone has bad grammar and spelling he or she lives in a ghetto is a huge generalization, there are actually smart people who are at a disadvantage because they were born into a poor family, it is not their fault they can not afford to go to a good school. This is a perfect segway to my next point, you said “pay attention in the public school people like me fund” It is absolutely shameful that you put yourself on such a high pedestal by making people like Emma feel inferior to you just because you may have a bit more money than her (or maybe even less, seeing as how you don’t even know her I doubt that your accusation was fair). It is people like you who give the upper-middle to upper class a bad name, people who go around flaunting their riches and good fortunes to people who can barely afford to pay rent in houses. So before you finish apologizing to everyone who is reading this on behalf of Emma and her “apparent” lack of intelligence let me apologize to the readers for your arrogance and tell them that not all people who were blessed with wealth act the same way you do.
umm when there is no other vowel in a sentence, the “y” counts as a vowel, duhhh!!!
Y is a vowel in pretty much all of these bud. My, shy, cry, sky, fly, fry, etc.
And the a is the vowel in “ay”.
lol…when i read that i almost peed my pants…nice going (:
a, e, i, o, u, and SOMETIMES y.
so therefore, y is a vowel.
so these words do not count….
Arguing on the internet is like running in the special Olympics, even if you win, you’re still retarded.
Arguing on the internet is like running in the special Olympics, even if you win, you’re still retarded.
um, A in ay is definately a vowel…go back to school kid
Y becomes a vowel when there are no vowels in the word
It’s a rule of English. All words must have a vowel. Otherwise, it’s not English; it’s moonspeak.
Y is a vowel….
y’s are vowels!
“U” is a vowel.
In cases of a one syllable word, y is considered a vowel. As an English major I would know.
Tomatoes don’t have meat… just saying.
You’re right in the fact that Y is not a vowel in some cases. But in pretty much EVERY single word used in the list above, it IS used as a vowel. In, for example, the word ‘Yellow’ Y is not a vowel. But in the words ‘Why’ ‘Cry’ and ‘Dye’, ‘Y’ is used as a vowel.
The Y acts as the vowel in every one of these words.
Umm… No offense, but I’m pretty sure that e is a vowel. o doesn’t that make gyve no a word without vowels? I’m just saying.
P.S. A is a vowel too. That makes two words that you put with vowels in them.
They say the vowels in the alphabet are: A,E,I,O,U, and SOMETIMES Y. In this case, all those words with the ‘Y’ in them, have vowels. The Y is the vowel.
You started out with “ay” but since “a” is a vowel that should not have made your list of 34 words. Neither should “gyve”.
You also missed words like nth, stymy, shh, mm, byrl, crypt, cwm, crwth, wryly, myrrh, wyn, wynn, xylyl, hm, hmm, br, brr, pry, plus the plurals of many words like hymns, myths, cysts, and trysts.
There are many many more in the unabridged dictionary but these are some of the ones I am aware of.

Hi

finally some1 who is smart and remembers wat they learned in kindergarden!!!!!!!
you forgot a few, like “nth” as in to the nth degree. others are called onomatopoeias.. They are any WORD that describes a sound, such as Bang. But the ones with no vowels are ones such as, BRR, BRRR, HM, HMM, MM, PFFT, PHPHT, PHT, PSST, SH, SHH, TSK, TSKS, TSKTSK, TSKTSKS, ZZZ’S
I once had a Spanish professor who believed n and m were vowels. He thought the consonants of a word were the body of the word and the vowels were the soul. Beautiful.
After reading this for a while I’ve noticed some inattentive posts (gnu), some creative interpretations (nth) and one that seems to really fit the criterium (psst). But that long list of words full of y’s, did that person go to school in Texas?
Ms. the honorific is not a word, it is the abbreviation for Mistress, the counterpart to Mister. I learned a,e,i,o,u and sometimes y or w are the vowels of English as she is spoke these days.
BTW a tomato is botanically a vegetable and horticulturally a fruit. Either way it’s a tasty little nibble.
?tvrthrst. Is long and no ‘y’

no one said anything about not liking foriegn languages..but “w” is only a vowel in two words in the whole english language..”cwm” and “cwr” in these circumstances it is referred to as a dipthong.. and im pretty sure no second grader knows what a dipthong is(:
Not sure if anyone else noticed in an earlier post but, last time I checked E was a vowel too.
GYVE?
ay has got a.e.i.o.u in it ????
ur caca and bull shit nd go back to grammar school dumb ass!
but it is in the websters dictionary therefor considered a word. (also a sound)
but arent you wasting your own time by being on the site reading these arguments?
although all these conversations are very funny to read, what makes things even more funny is that everyone is fighting about what is a vowel. lol is it really worth arguing over?
Thanks SG. Emma’s an idiot who probably flunked second grade. She also said “w” is a vowel; if I remember right, that’s not true. In fact, “w” as in “winner” is most certainly NOT a vowel. Go hide your face in shame somewhere emma, because you couldn’t pass kindergarten the way you’re going. It’s a wonder you can type, oh wait you can’t. Proof: “differance” “ect.” “lease” “damb” “forien” “laugages” “extermly” “your” “dose” “stupider”. Stupider is not a word, and it’s “etc.,” not ect. Go back to school emma, you need it.
On the other hand, thank goodness there are people like SG saving the world from imminent ignorance. Kudos to you.
Hi Emma,
Before calling anyone a “retard” you should perhaps run your spell check…or maybe refer to a dictionary. Here in America, by the way, no one says “damb”. We also use the word “foreign” not “forien”. Also, here in America (and if I’m not mistaken, generally in the English language), dose refers to the dosage of, lets say, medicine. I believe the word your little brain was trying to provide was “does”. As far as your question to the general public “(also how dose it feel to be stupider than a second grader?)”, I believe you have proven to be the best qualified to answer that yourself. Now, please stop embarrassing yourself, and crawl back into that ghetto hole you call home, and next time, pay attention in the public school people like me fund.
To the rest of the group here, please ignore people like Emma, and try not to hold the rest of America responsible for her ignorance.
Thank you guys.
you guys are all retards we should all know by now that “Y” and “w” are vowels ask any second grader they can tell you the differance and of course i understand there are more than one type of dictonary (a spanish, english, german, british, ect.) but if your going to use those words at lease dont mix it with words from the english dictonary because here in america we really dont give a damb about forien laugages, and in some cultures it is extermly rude to talk forien langages because we dont know what your saying. ( also how dose it feel to be stupider than a second grader?)
I got one…ms… As in a lady and personally I think y is half a vowel just like half empty or half full depends how u looks at it I guess and I heard from a teacher that there’s only 3 words wit no vowels out of 150 million english words
ps u can’t address women to mrs anymore according to people for too much assumptions towards women and leave out the dot just like the comma when u address location ex// Toronto Ontario .. u see it on mail unless they claim to be mrs..computer can be wrong their still working on the universal language English

Actually, if you do any research on the subject, ‘Y’ is indeed considered to be a vowel in BOTH of the instances in which you used it. In fact, it has been taught in many schools (you can further do research on this, if you so choose), that the letter ‘W’ is also a vowel, so the words of welsh origin “cwm”, for example, DO, in fact, have a vowel in them. I have been so far unable, however, to find out the current status of the letter ‘W’, and whether it can be considered to be a vowel or not. (The most convining arguement I’ve heard thus far has been that ‘W’ is considered a vowel in a word when it is not followed by another vowel, which the exception of the letter ‘H’ [such as when, why, etc], such as how, saw, and dew). Honestly, before you go around telling people not to be idiots, you might want to do a little research yourself.
Hello piyushdadriwala !!
Thanks for your efforts !!
Just ignore the bullshit bad comment from anonymous readers !!
just add this : NYMPH
The beautiful word I love most to your collection so that it would reach 35 !!
Congrats !!IYA
The correct lesson is (as was told in all my schooling years) A, E, I, O, U and sometime ‘W’ and ‘Y’..
It does not have to be used as a vowel and it is not always a vowel. You guys really need to do your research about this.
MBT
Y is a vowel because in school they have said ever since i was little the vowels are “A,E,I,O,U and sometimes Y” so sometimes y is a vowel either way its a vowel but i dont understand why they say sometimes y but it is a vowel so i’ve learned
in school they teach you that the vowels are a e i o u and SOMETIMES y
You forgot cyst
More like they need to go back to preschool- you learn that WAAAAAAY before highschool. HELL, way before MIDDLESCHOOL.
These are all part of the “sometimes” exception to the a, e, i, o, u, list of vowels. In the Dark Ages (1960), I was taught the rule is a, e, i, o, u, and sometimes Y and W. However, it is interesting that depending upon your source, Y & W are often left out. If you use multiple sources for your research (which must always be done)you will find many variations! Here are a few examples:
Vowel, n.
A letter, such as a, e, i, o, u, and sometimes y in the English alphabet, that represents a vowel.

n vowel
1 in English and many other languages, the letters a, e, i, o, u.
2 (also vowel sound) any of the sounds represented by these five letters or by y, or by combination of these with each other and/or w.

Vowel
a letter or symbol, representing a vowel, usually used in English of a, e, i, o, u, and sometimes y.
http://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary
Webster’s Dictionary, 1913
Vow”el (?), n. [F. voyelle, or an OF. form without y, L. vocalis (sc. littera), from vocalis sounding, from vox, vocis, a voice, sound. See Vocal.] (Phon.) A vocal, or sometimes a whispered, sound modified by resonance in the oral passage, the peculiar resonance in each case giving to each several vowel its distinctive character or quality as a sound of speech; — distinguished from a consonant in that the latter, whether made with or without vocality, derives its character in every case from some kind of obstructive action by the mouth organs. Also, a letter or character which represents such a sound. In the English language, the written vowels are a, e, i, o, u, and sometimes w and y.
From: Dictionary.com (The American Heritage® Dictionary of the English Language, Fourth Edition Copyright © 2009 by Houghton Mifflin Company.)
Vowel, noun.
2. a letter representing or usually representing a vowel, as, in English, a, e, i, o, u, and sometimes w and y.
WHEN IS “w” A VOWEL
Yes, there are two words in the english language that use the letter “w” as a vowel. The first is “cwm” pronounced “coom” which is the basin at the bottom of a mountain sometimes containing a lake and the other is “crwth” which is an ancient celtic musical instrument.
http://www.englishforums.com/English/WhenIsWAVowel/mwbn/post.h...
AskOxford: Is the letter Y a vowel or a consonant?
(This consonant sound, like that of the letter W, is sometimes called a ‘semivowel’ because it is made in a similar way to a vowel, but functions in contrast to vowels when used in words.) Whether the letter Y is a vowel or a consonant is therefore rather an arbitrary decision.

http://ask.reference.com/related/Words+without+Vowels?o=10601&qsrc=2892&l=dir
However, Remember that “shhh”, “psst”, and “mm-hmm,” are actually a form of Onomatopoeia, or a word or a grouping of words that imitates the sound it is describing.
All the Best,
Professor Mike, Dept. of Teacher Education
Still have “why”.
the majority of the english language is derived from other origins so crwth is as much a word as anything else on your list…
and remember, all words with y in them, use y as a vowel.
remember vowels are a,e,i,o,u and sometimes y
y is definitely a vowel when there is no other vowel in the word besides y
also cwm is a word with no vowel
Vowels as I understand it are, a speech sound made by allowing air to pass through the middle of your mouth without being stopped by your tongue or your lips. Say it with me now. A,E,I,O,U If you can say Y without using your lips or tongue I will stand corrected.

i believe you forgot a few, most notably, “nth” as in to the nth degree. others are called onomatopoeias or onomatopœias(in Greek). They are any WORD that describes a sound, such as Bang. But the ones with no vowels are ones such as, BRR, BRRR, HM, HMM, MM, PFFT, PHPHT, PHT, PSST, SH, SHH, TSK, TSKS, TSKTSK, TSKTSKS, ZZZ’S
onomatopoeia, a Word that describes a sound dddrrrrr
How about gym, cwt, flyby, slyly, and crypt.
I DONT THINK YOU DID. TAKE IT FROM A PERSON WHO IS STILL IN SCHOOL, THAT THEY DO TEACH YOU THAT Y IS SOMETIMES A VOWEL. THIS LESSON IS THEN FOLLOWED THROUGHOUT THE YEARS WITH THE RULES THAT COME WITH Y BEING A VOWEL. IT ALSO COMES AS A SHOCKER THAT WHEN YOU TAKE A HOME EC OR ANY KIND OF HEALTH CLASS, THEY TEACH YOU THAT TOMATOS ARE A FRUIT. THANK YOU AND…… GO BACK TO SCHOOL.
YES THE VOWELS ARE (A,E,I,O,U) AND THEN SOMETIMES Y. Y IS CONSIDERED A VOWEL WHEN IT IS PRONOUNCED AS ANOTHER LONG VOWEL. FOR EXAMPLE, CRY, THE Y STRESSES AN I SOUND. THEREFORE, MOST OF THE WORDS ON THIS LIST ARE BUNK. THEY ARE ALL CONSIDERED TO HAVE VOWELS BECAUSE OF HOW THE Y IS USED. AND BY THE WAY, IM ONLY 19 AND INFORMING YOU IDOITS OF THIS FACT. THANK YOU AND GO BACK TO SCHOOL.

First go and learn grammar and try to use proper spelling Please don’t kill ENGLISH .or else go to highly elevated place jump from there and die.(For fun(LOL))
y is a voule(vowel)
where do you get and E at the start of nth it is nnnth not eeenth, and beside that mmmmm is a word with no vowel sound, spoken or written, as is sshhh, and yes they are words they are called onomatopoeias, any WORD that describes a sound, such as Bang.

i love y but a-e-i-o-u-y just does not sound right
thanks for the help i think y is the coolest letter!
Granted there are many words without vowels. I learned there were 5 vowels and oh, yes sometimes “Y”, but “y” is definitely not a vowel. My God..hasn’t anyone heard?
I believe “Y” can be considered a semi-vowel, as well as “H” and “W” when followed by a vowel. If you look at the words above, the letters that follow the “Y” are not vowels. Therefore, I don’t believe that “Y” is even considered a semi-vowel in these words.
You forgot a few; syn, pnyx, glyph, wyrd, pht, hwyl, hyp…not to mention, pry, hm & hmm, wyn, nth and cwm
Zyzzyva — you can look it up and add it to your list, but take those off that contain vowels, i.e. ay, gyve
Vegatable? What’s with your spelling? It’s a fruit!
Look up “nth”
if you think y is not a vowel then add one more word to your list that is GYM
vsreedhar1986@gmail.com
Y ISNT A VOWEL IDIOT. UR STUPID! The Vowels are A(a),E(e),I(i),O(o),U(u). SEARCH IT U IDIOT
I just found out Y is a vowel (sometimes). Or maybe I had forgotten from when I was in school . I always thought it was just A E I O U …. Have been told by my whole family today how stupid I am, It feels great. But it is very comforting to know I am not the only one who thought this!
Umm.. No? Why would Y be a vowel?! In words like happY and babY it might be pronounced like an E but it is no vowel.
sh is a word without a vowel and the definition is to ‘urge silence’. And Y is technically a vowel in the english language.
yes its is a vowel
Get this ….. GYM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!~~~
you people are retarded! Any word with Y in it utilizes the y’s sound like the i sound in fly or the e sound for any so……….
You are an idiot. All words in the English language came from other languages. I hope you haven’t reproduced.
Exactly its a different language. Not ours. It doesn’t count.
Not to sound like a total dork, but face it hun, every word has a vowel.
Now everyone needs to stop arguing about it.
Its the fact of life…haha not really but ya kno.
<3 Tayz
AY… has an “A” in it… and GYVE has an “E” in it… and you missed WHY… GYM… FLYBY… SYZYGY… SYMPHYSY… SPRYLY… RHYTHMS… CRYPT… CRWTH… CWM… NTH… HYMNS… RHYTHMLY… WYNDS… and PWN! i am sure there are others, so you should updata your list, lol
Y is a consonant when it make a “yu” sound like in the word yellow.
Otherwise it is usually a vowel.
Despite it was welsh in origin it is considered a word in the English Language
BRR & BRRR / I KNOW OTHERS!! LANNY
ezrider747@hotmail.com
i dont like that i wish i could find a word
I think this was consisting of only english words crwth is welsh in origin
Vowels are, strictly speaking, sounds, not letters of the alphabet.
The letters of the alphabet used to represent vowel sounds are a, e, i, o, u, w, and y.
The sound of “w” in “water” and of “y” in “yes” are called semi-vowels or glides; however, these glide sounds are not the only sounds which “w” and “y” represent. They can represent full vowels as well, as in “crwth” and “cyst” and “sky”.
Furthermore, “w” is associated with “u” and “y” is associated with “i”, so that “u” and “i” also represent the glide sounds in “water” and “yes”, as in “quite” and “onion”. Had history gone a little differently, we might now be spelling these last two as “qwite” and “onyon”!
So the little clause “and sometimes ‘y’” is really a misleading little clause. It presupposes that the glide sound in “yes” is to be considered a consonant. Otherwise, the “y” would be considered a vowel the same as “a, e, i, o, u”, i.e., always a vowel. And if “y” is not a vowel when a glide, then neither is “i”, and there should be another clause saying that “i” is “only sometimes a vowel”, it not being so when it represents a glide (as in “onion”).
In summary, “i”, “u”, “y”, and “w” are all used to represent both glides (semi-vowels) and full vowels.
crestina xD
since when did the “Y” become a vowel???
i was like LOL
Definitely tsk. I posted it later in the comments, but it is definitely tsk, not tisk. However, that could be an interpretation spelling(IE-Moustache and mustache), so I’m not sure.
you missed…
Why
Gym
flyby
symphysy
twynylling
and the longest one
twyndyllyngs.
Keep in mind that all of theese include y, which could be considered a vowel, but in my schooling, it was only a,e,i,o,u, and sometimes y, but that was added on much later. Plus, keep in mind sometimes y, which means it is not an official vowel. So, you could consider these to not have vowels, or they could. Your call.
Consider it what you want, just remember that the english language is screwed up enough anyway, and that’s why we are arguing over words with no vowels with y being a vowel. However, in my schooling, y was not a vowel, so don’t call me a dumbass because of what I had drilled into my head when I was 5. Thank you.
Don’t post outside of topic. that was innapropriate, but BTW, off topic, tomatoes are vegetables.(I think)
Actually, you missed a really good one. Tsk does not contain any vowels, and does not include y. Plus, I’ll soon post a list of some longer ones you also missed.
You are an idiot!
A and E are vowels and so is Y when needed.
Seriously, you have no idea what the fuck you are talking about!
ever heard of a,e,i,o,u and sometimes y
this is where the sometimes y comes into play, meaning that all of those words do have a vowel in them
There “ARE”( not is stupid, its plural) vowels in some words and i can say there is because crwth is an english word and your retarted.
not true–y is a long e in a 2 syllable word such as happy and baby–they have other vowels, too.
last time i checked E was a vowel.. “GYVE”
lol whoever wrote this is not so smart.. the first word is ay… A is a vowel.. lol moron..
In 1893 the Supreme Court decision Nix v. Hedden declared that the tomato was a vegatable. In the United States, it’sa vegatable.
it is a sound is used to get some ones attention it has no real meaning therefore is not a word
y is a vowel im some occasions havent you heard of aeiou and sometimes y?
there’s a word up there with E in it.
douchebags.
y is not a vowel
“cwm” and “crwth” – they don’t have vowels?
If we arguing about the technicality, then I think it’s suffice to say that it doesn’t include any of the letters a, e, i, o, u. y that can be vowels.
–
Kamal
No u have not yet cleared my doubt
there are three vowels
in all of those words
which are A,E, and,Y
wow these scientists are
very good at there job
isnt y a vowel i came here to see to see words with no vowels at all
yur sooo unfunny
it hurts
the first word on thr is “Ay” uhmmm.. i thinkkk A is a vowel! hehe :] justt saying!
One of your words is GYVE this has the letter E which is a vowel! Dumbass! hahaha, and all you fools trying to be clever about vowels didn’t see that one coming.
doesent that then mean that strawberries are vegetables. their seeds are outside
……..my brain hurts just from the first three lines, but yeah it is considered a vowel and a consonant ^_^
Y can sometimes be considered as a vowel
Nth, is the only word I can think of without any vowel including Y.
the word nth. Not a single vowel.
yes, of course
e.g. – gym, rhythm etc.
* here y is a semivowel.
E IS A VOWEL
Y is a vowel….every word has a vowel in it..there are no words without vowels
Glyph
i lol’d upon seeing this-great one!
Dude, calm down man, no need to get angry at something like this. Geez. You guys have anger issues
Then Just ignore it , duh!!!!!!!!!!!!
Crypt, Syntax, Sly, Nymph
How about GYM
a,e,i,o,u and sometimess y !
y is a voule

throw the dictionary out the bloody window, turn war hammer off and get some already!!!!
or are you to “SHY”!!!!!!!!!! omg, lol,roflpmsl, lmao, lmfao,
just so you know, the job on countdown is taken!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
its called sometimes Y
there is vowels in every word n u cant say there isnt cuz there is
you dumbass………… remember,aeiou and sometimes Y
retard
the first word “ay” has an a in it…
Thank you for your tact and an intelligently stated answer.
No, “Y” is a vowel only when there are no other vowels in the word, sorry
‘y’ is one of the vowels
it is not always used as a vowel but in all of the examples above the ‘y’ is the vowel in the word
yes it is
hey thts not nice
what about ‘cwm’, its an acceptble scrabble word.
Y is a vowel!!!!
if there is no other vowel except “y” in the word, “y” would then become a vowel. the only word in the english language that comes close to that is “cwm” but in that case the “w’ is considered a vowel. This is called a Diphthong. do some research before inputing your ignorant opinions…
Pry – Hmmmmm this is kinda obvious XD Anyway for said people who were arguing – At shcool I was taught that Y is a letter that can act like a vowel but is not a vowel itself.
“…and w”?
It’s a fruit, it has seeds within the meat.
Actually, schools are now teaching Y as a vowel, and have been for quite some time.
I’m so shocked, I always thought all words had a vowel when I found out there were word that didn’t have a vowel I had to look it up very quickly this has made my day.
A E I O U, are the only vowels. Schools do not teach Y as a vowel. Universities do not teach Y as a vowel, it’s like is a tomato a fruit or vegetable.
y is a vowel genius
hehe… learn to spell, so you don’t look stupid
YOUR SMART
A E I O U AND SOMETIMES Y…….DUMBASS
DON’T YOU LOOK STUPID
I IS A VOWEL AND Y IS A VOWEL
STUPID
you are such an idiot!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Y isa vowel and consitered a vowel in all of those words!!!!!!
ay… lol
and what about “why”
crwth is a word with no vowel
yo for got the word why
ay does have a vowel. the first letter is a which is.
gyve does. the letter e is in it(last letter).some of this words dont exist.
not to be rude.its just some correction,so im not saying it in a rude manner.
You forgot all the Onomatopoeia’s!
the first word on the list contains the vowel ‘a’.
Both of these words don’t have vowels (also can be found on dictionary.com)
CWM (pronounced koom) – steep mountain basin, such as a valley
CRWTH (pronounced krooth) – Welsh instrument similar to a violin.
their does not have to be a “u” after a “q” ever play scabble?
Y is a VOWEL!!!!!
yeah y is a vowel, obviously, but cwms shouldn’t count as it is not english, it is welsh.
i know very well pls try u if u are fail than u should request me ok
and for ur knowladge y is samy vowel u cant count such a word try cry ……my name is rajkumar soni / soni sir e mail soni_soni357@yahoo.com
A is a vowel. Its in the first word. Y is a vowel too.
here is a classic non-vowel word:
Myrrh

xD
So, okay, everyone who learned English in America (can’t say about other English speaking countries, but I assume it’s the same in the UK, Australia, Canada, etc.) was taught that a ‘Y’ can be a vowel. This fellow, Piyush, gauging on his writing style and name is from India or Pakistan. Give him a break. Admittedly, it’s a rather odd post for SB, but there are all sorts of posts that are worse such as marketing pitches.
PIYUSHDADRIWALA, you are an idiot, unfortunately.
All of these words have vowels in them: they all have “Y”! As we all have learned in grade school, all words have at least one vowel, also the letter “y” is considered as well. We are talking about English, of course, or else I could name many words in other languages without “vowels”.
We are not talking about scientific terms as well. So, “nth” doesn’t count as it is actually just an abbreviation for a object’s position in a defined ordering.
I can’t believe that this crap is in a “science blog”! The blog post makes me want to point and laugh…
PIYUSHDADRIWALA, I bestow upon you the distinction of being a true moron! You can take credit for being an idiot. Lol.
WITH LOVE,
Bob
Lol.
Cwtch, Cwrth and Cwm dont count
because as they are ALL welsh, the W is counted a vowel
MORONSSSSS
but i agree on Tsk and Psst
and i love how no one seems to read the comments anyway
becuase you still insist on Y not being a vowel
and what the hell with the AY
Why have an argument about vowels if you dont seem to realises that A is the first vowel. Bloody idiots!
The Question Was Words Without Vowels, Not Abbreviated Letters!! Thanks.
fnk is a breaking of a a building’s air condition. so stop the violence
The word nth is defined in both the Oxford and Merriam Webster dictionaries.
To the nth degree.
Thank god someone finally agrees with me. Every word requires a vowel, just like there has to be a “u” after a “q”. I learned this in like the 2nd grade. So go back to elementary school.
cwm : which is a basin found at the base of mountain , sumtimes has a lake nearby
shayees
LMAO hahaha
nice.
“Sh”
look it up. it’s a word.
Interjections are words, people!!
I think Y is a subvowel im not really sure im only 11 but i think it is one after all the stuff ive read so far on the internet
okay y is a vowel w is a vowel but the one thing you all forgot is L,M,N, and R you guys are such idiots not one of those words is with out a vowel!!! morons lol
the crwth is a celtic instrument
all words have vowels, which is why in grad school we were taught the aeiou and sometimes y. now that we are much older, we learn words that dont have a written vowel and learn that W substitutes a vowel. As for nth, havent heard it but there is always exceptions with everything. so if your word doesnt have the traditional 5 vowels in it, look for a y or w because they step in and take the place. read up on grammar rules.
you people need help.
i never realized how much people would argue about this subject
crwth is also not a word without a vowel, because in the welsh language the ‘w’ is sometimes used as a vowel. and i agree with you on the ‘y’ thing
crwth is also not a word without a vowel, because in the welsh language the ‘w’ is sometimes used as a vowel. and i agree with you on the ‘y’ thing
Only words in the English disctionary count, not made up words for musical instruments. The ONLY word that has no Vowels (including the Y) is Shrth, Shrth is dated back to the Battle of Marston Moor April 1664.
It was first used after arriving at the moor on July 2, 1644, Rupert allowed himself to be convinced by his commanders that it was too late in the day to begin fighting. Thus, Rupert allowed his soldiers to break for supper. Shortly after 7:00 PM, however, a large shrth of thunder, accompanied by pouring rain, helped to announce the arrival of The Parliamentarians. The biggest battle ever fought in Britain had begun.
The Battle of Marston Moor lasted only a few hours. The majority of the Royalists were either killed or taken prisoner. Rupert himself had to hide in a field to avoid capture. The Parliamentarians only lost 300 troops.
Rupert managed to rally the survivors and retreat to Chester. Here he hoped to rebuild his army. With this march south, the Royalists’ abandoned the north.
Yes there is a word and it is Crwth which is a Sringed Musical Instrument mostly used in Welsh Music. By the way all the words above have vowels. Whoever made this page needs to go back to English class because in every word the letter ” Y ” is considered a vowel.
OKAY i only came here to see if there are any words without vowels and now im just plain confused why are you all so serious! so!! without any great debate is there any words without vowels?? or vowel sounding letters?? IN THE ENGLISH DICTIONARY AH!!
CRWTH and CRWTHS
fwhy the hell did u puts the vowels a e and y . think
people should really get a life and not argue about it……….seriously!!!
crypt is a good one
YOU’VE POSTED WORDS WITH “A” & “E”.LASTED TIME I CHECKED THEY WE VOWELS…..GYVE & AY…THIS SITE IS COMPLETELY INACCURATE…UPDATE YOUR SITE GUY
U ppl are really sick…
Now if u ask me i’ll let u know some wrds without vowels..
F*CK, S*CK, D*CK, MTHRFKR xctr…..
Now dont tell me above wrds r nt wrds without vowels as u know they have no A, E, I, O, U or Y n I say they r wrds as dey hav meanings n u ppl did understand them without any prob :d
Y is a vowel and that is plain and simple. cwms is a good one for the list.
yer i agree lol,
y can be used i guess, but w…not so much.
half of these words wouldent even come up in conversation lol,
so does it really matter? how many of you guys are going to be able to say you play the “crwth” lol
…
so yer
How is ‘w’ a vowel?
I don’t get it!
In pillow, it isn’t a vowel. It is just silent, or emphazises the ‘o’ even more.
Wow. Some people are really stupid.
I only came to this website to see if there was a word with no vowels, but everyone has to get so technical about it!
Wow…
Oh my god, some of you people need to go back to grade school
“crwth” is a Welsh string instrument… are you the second grader?
Is tsk a word? Because if it is then there you go.
Or is it tisk?
I’m not exactly sure.
Ay isn’t a word without a vowel…idiot.
You know… arguing on the Internet is a lot like the special olympics. Even if you win, you’re still a retard!
*can semi vowels come before consnants .give examples
Someone already had it, but crwth. Webster’s defines it as a crowd. Just a note, a 2nd grader figured that one out!
Yes, the letter Y is a vowel or a consonant! In terms of sound, a vowel is ‘a speech sound which is produced by comparatively open configuration of the vocal tract, with vibration of the vocal cords but without audible friction…’, while a consonant is ‘a basic speech sound in which the breath is at least partly obstructed’ (definitions from the New Oxford Dictionary of English, 1998). The letter Y can be used to represent different sounds in different words, and can therefore fit either definition. In myth or hymn it is clearly a vowel, and also in words such as my, where it stands for a diphthong (a combination of two vowel sounds). On the other hand, in a word like beyond there is an obstacle to the breath which can be heard between two vowels, and the same sound begins words like young and yes. (This consonant sound, like that of the letter W, is sometimes called a ‘semivowel’ because it is made in a similar way to a vowel, but functions in contrast to vowels when used in words.) Whether the letter Y is a vowel or a consonant is therefore rather an arbitrary decision. The letter is probably more often used as a vowel, but in this role is often interchangeable with the letter I. However, the consonant sound is not consistently represented in English spelling by any other letter, and perhaps for this reason Y tends traditionally to be counted among the consonants.
why is new word by viji
Gym
This is hilarious,
Who really cares that much?
A E I O U, AND Y, are all vowels.
Now try and make a REAL word without using any vowels.
Haven’t you ever heard that the vowels are a,e,i,o,u, and sometimes y. “Y” is a vowel when it sounds like long “i.”
ok, aeiou, sometimes y and w are vowels. In all the words that you posted the y is a vowel, same as in my mother’s name, Kathryn. w is a vowel in pillow. and i hopw i don’t have to go into words were aeiou are vowels. there is one word that i can think of that doesnt use aeiouyw, and it is nth, ans in to the nth degree, and it is a word. here is the dictionary.com definition for nth:
nth /?n?/ Pronunciation Key – Show Spelled Pronunciation[enth] Pronunciation Key – Show IPA Pronunciation
–adjective 1. being the last in a series of infinitely decreasing or increasing values, amounts, etc.
2. (of an item in a series of occurrences, planned events, things used, etc., that is thought of as being infinitely large) being the latest, or most recent: This is the nth time I’ve told you to eat slowly.
so there you go.

i think this is really stupid and you guys should quit while your at it
Just to give people some clarification, here is both the definition of vowels and consonants, and how the letter Y fits into both. http://www.askoxford.com/asktheexperts/faq/aboutother/lettery?view=uk
In Summary, they point out that in the majority of cases, when Y is used as a vowel, it is interchangeable with the letter I – as in words like ‘try’ or ‘crypt’ would sound the same if an I was there instead. They also mention that there are no other consonants that give the same sound as a letter ‘y’ in words souch as ‘young’ or ‘Yemen’, and this is the reason that the letter ‘y’ is traditionally considered a consonant.
Discuss =P
Some purists might question “nth”s status as a word, but since I believe language is what people speak (not what some self-appointed arbiter of style decrees), I’ll agree that “nth” is a word. It is also true that “nth” isn’t written with a vowel. But the question is whether you want to go with the orthography or the pronunciation.
If you go with orthography, then all you are saying is that you’ve found a word that isn’t written with a vowel. But I think if you say “nth” outloud to yourself and listen carefully, you’ll see it’s really “enth”.
It’s been said above, but just to repeat — there are no words in spoken English that don’t have vowels. Maybe there are some foreign borrowings that don’t have vowels, but I doubt there are enough English-speakers who can pronounce those words to count them as English words in their own right.

What about the word nth, i.e. to the nth degree
Lol did someone miss grade school? Let me refresh you vowels are A E I O U and sometimes Y. the sometimes means that yes it is considered a vowel. at times it is a vowel at times it is not. It’s never semi (half or partly a vowel).
A is a vowel. Y is a vowel in all of those words. Douchebags
A is a vowel. Y is a vowel in all of those words. Douchebags
How bout psst. That is a word. An example would be ‘psst, come here’.
another word is rhythm
“AY” has a vowel because the letter “A” is a vowel
While it’s totally unrelated to the topic at hand, I’ve read a little bit about Tysabri. While it is true that this is an amazing medication I would be cautious of calling it a miracle drug. It’s new, and it almost wasn’t because of some funky rare lesions that came up in the brains of some people in the clinical trials that left the suferers in a worse state than their M.S. I can understand the appeal of a new treatment for a condition as serious as MS, and it is with this in mind that I remind you that it is important that people understand the risks and decide for themselves whether or not the risks are worth the benefit. of But you know, the manufacturers have a great marketing team, getting out press releases and all, so it must be a miracle drug, just like Vioxx, Bextra….
by .the way AY has a vowel, DUH
Actually a ” Y ” is considered a vowel is it makes a speech sound, such as (?) or (?) so in other words almost every word listed above has a vowel in it.
my bad i hit reply instead of hitting add a comment
The juxtaposition of the words is awkward, but
‘Sprytly Gypsy slyly slyp’d by my crypt’, isn’t.
I have always thought of Y as an auxiliary vowel?
The subject says it all.
Thank god SOMEONE knows what they are talking about
Hello?!? There is a vowel in every word with the exception of one- cwm
It only has no vowel because it is Dutch or Swedish or something like that. It refers to one of the faces on Mt. Everest- the Western Cwm
I came across this today , I have heard of many others but this is a sample of what I have come across.
Well worth a look.

Those have Ys in them notice how there is no AEIOU good trY
“SHY GYPSY SLYLY SPRYLY TRYST BY MY CRYPT”
‘Y’ is sometimes a vowel, but only if it is by itself in a word, like ‘fry’. Every word has a vowel, unless you’re stupid an are thinking of things like ‘TV’. That’s an abbreveation! So, let’s take ‘Yard’, for instance. Notice that ‘a’ is the main vowel in this, so when there is a main vowel, ‘y’ is not a vowel. ‘Y’ is only used when no other vowel is present.
Hope I cleared the confusion!
CRYPT is new word without vowel
Cwms – a bowl-shaped, steep-walled mountain basin carved by glaciation, often containing a small, round lake.
Crypt – an underground burial place especially underneath a church.
