Shhh! Grrr! Psst! Zzzz! are true words and therefore qualify as words without vowels. If we disqualify these words and words ending in y (together with acronyms such as RSVP and abbreviations such as P.S. and P.M. ), every English word contains at least one of the principal vowels.

I am sure on 'cwm'. I don't know about the other welsh word. I can tell you that anyone who says you can't have a word with out a vowel is an idiot. Y is not a vowel and look at how many words have just a Y.

There is no such thing! Because in grammar you HAVE to have a vowel for a completed word. The one with the Welsh insturment is not an English word because it is Welsh. And the Grr and Psst are exclamations! They are not in the dictionary.

Hmmp,
In the world of text messaging there's a lot of english words that didn't contains vowels nor y, and it's understandable and accepted by the readers.

There are no English words without vowels or y. I don't count Grrr, Pssst and Shhh as words.

Another such word is cwm--a word for a valley.
It comes from Welsh.
Also crwth--a sort of violin.
