In the English language are there any words that don't have a vowel in it?
If there are tell me the word.

No. Vowels are needed in the English Language. "Y" counts.
btw -- onomatopoeias (words that imitate sounds) are not always real words.

All words in the English language contain at least one vowel. "Y" is considered a vowel when there are no other vowels in a word.

Not in the English language.

The debate rages on. I guess it depends upon what you consider a "real word." There are plenty of words constituting onomotopoeia (I have no idea how to make that plural, or adjective form -- onomotopoetic? onomotopoae? If someone can e-mail me and tell me I'd love it) that are in all of the dictionaries, including Tsk, Shh, Mm.

English words containing all consonants include: brr, crwth, cwm, hmm, mm, nth, pfft, pht, psst, QT (meaning 'quiet'), shh, and tsktsk (and some of them have plurals).

Well... "cwm" appears in the Oxford Dictionary and on dictionary.com, so it might be a valid word... Maybe.
