are there words without vowels?

Question

without like shhh, fly, and things like that

Answer 1

In English spelling, the standard vowels are a e i o u and (sometimes) y.

There are a few words whose standard spelling does not include any vowel: shhh, psst, pfft, tsk (as in 'tsk tsk') and nth.

Welsh uses w as a vowel (pronounced somewhat like the oo in 'boot'.) A few Welsh words that have no other vowel have come into English, from Welsh, with their spelling unchanged. So to us they look like they have no vowel. Those words are crwth and cwm. (I think there's a third, but I can't find it.)

Answer 2

None that I know of. The vowel is the noise/sound maker of the alphabet.
Definition: a vowel sound can be made and made and made with out stopping, as in Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah. But try that with P - p p p p p p , have to keep stopping. Now S is an in between - ssssssssshhhh as you say or sssssssss. Like a snake.

Therefore there are no words without vowel except the interesting example you gave us.

Answer 3

Most words in English have a vowel in them but there are a few which are either a continuous fricative or nasal that don't have vowels. Some have been given already -shh, tssk, hmmm etc. The common Vietnamese name Ng is another. Mostly, though, words have at least one of the 10-13 vowels in English (depending on dialect) and these are represented in writing by just seven letters (including Y and W).

Answer 4

well shhh isn't a word... and in fly, the vowel is y. so the answer is no.. there are no words that dont have vowels: a e i o u and sometimes y

Answer 5

I don't think fly counts as a no vowel word
The y is sometimes used as a vowel.

Answer 6

"shhh" is not a word. "y" is the vowel in "fly."

Good Luck!!!

Answer 7

NO, unless you do not use a y as a vowel. Every word has a vowel.
