Does every single word in the English language contain a vowel?

Question

Does every single word in the English language contain a vowel? If they don't, then please list the ones you know.

Answer 1

All words in the English language contain vowels. The ones provided by Burlywood all use "y" as a vowel, or are abbreviations, acronyms, or are not words at all.

The one provided by Kallan K may be in the English dictionary, but they are not English words. Cwm is Welsh, not English.

Part of the problem here is that just because something is in the dictionary, does not make it a word. It is simply and idea that needs a definition. That does not make it a proper part of speech.

Answer 2

Tsk!

You should know better, words like "hymn" and "rhythm" are using the letter Y as a vowel rather than a consonant. However "tsk" IS a word according to both Merriam-Webster and Dictionary.com, and it has no vowels whatsoever. It's an interjection rather than a noun, verb, adjective, or other common parts of speech.

Answer 3

Not every word but many do if you type this in on google a list of words with vowels should come up also dictionary.com has some great resources...

Here's one:
CWM (pronounced ‘koom’): 1) A steep bowl-shaped hollow occurring at the upper end of a mountain valley, especially one forming the head of a glacier or stream. Also called cirque. 2) A ring; a circle.
