Words in the English Language with No Vowels

by gamerips in Languages, July 30, 2009

A list of words with no vowels. Full words for the abbreviations.

There are few real words in English that contain no vowels. Vowels are very important in words, because they control how the letters around them sound and how they are pronounced. The vowels are: a, e, i, o, and u.

Here are a list of words with no vowels and their full words (if they are abbreviations):

Gym (Short for Gymnasium)
Fry
Spy
Shy
Psych
Lynx (an animal)
Rhythm
Sly
Hymn
Fly
Crypt (Similar To a Tomb)
Sync (Short for Synchronization)
Ply (A type of Wood)
Pry
Nymph
Myth (A type of Story)

All of those words have vowels remember the saying; A, E, I, O, U, and sometimes Y

Agree with the comment above! However, I am sure, it is possible to find many abbreviations without vowels (P.S., SQL, KGB), or exclamatory words, such as pst, grrr, etc.
