English words without vowels
English words without vowels are words in English either written without letters that conventionally are considered vowel letters, or spoken without vowel sounds. In most languages of the world, all or nearly all lexical words have vowel sounds, and English is no exception; however, rhotic dialects of English (such as most varieties of American English) have words like ''nurse'' and ''word'' with a syllabic r sound, but these words are typically written with a vowel letter immediately prior to an ''r''. On the other hand, there are words that are not written with an exclusively vowel letter (that is, ), though they are pronounced with a vowel sound. There also are some interjections and besides onomatopoeia, to ideophones in general, that contain neither vowel sounds nor syllabic ''r'' and which are thus spelled with no vowel letter.
This article does not cover abbreviations, such as ''km'' or ''ms'', nor acronyms.
==With ''y''==

In English, the letter can represent either a vowel or consonant sound,〔"Y, n.". OED Online. September 2012. Oxford University Press. 4 October 2012.〕 and a large number of Modern English words spell the and sounds with , such as ''by, my, dry, fly, fry, cry, pry, gym, shy, sky, sly, spy, try, why, hymn, lynx, myrrh, myth, wyrm, crypt, flyby, gypsy, lynch, nymph, pygmy, rhythm, tryst'' and ''syzygy'' which are vowels in this case.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://oxforddictionaries.com/words/is-the-letter-y-a-vowel-or-a-consonant?region=us?region=us )〕 The longest dictionary words (base forms excluding plurals) are ''rhythm'', ''spryly'', ''sylphy'' and ''syzygy''.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.collinsdictionary.com/words-and-language/interesting-words/the-longest-word-in-the-collins-english-dictionary,38,HCB.html )〕 The longest such word in common use is ''rhythms,'' and the longest such word in Modern English is the obsolete 17th-century word ''symphysy.'' If archaic words and spellings are considered, there are many more, the longest perhaps being ''twyndyllyngs,'' the plural of ''twyndyllyng'' meaning "twin".
