Can you share some words without vowels from other languages?
I know that English has words without traditional vowels, like "cwm" from Welsh. Do other languages have similar words, and how are they used in everyday speech?
If you have any insights or further examples to contribute, please add them to the discussion!

0Vietnamese fellow here! :D I ran across your question, and it made me realize that every word in Vietnamese has vowels!
The vowels in Vietnamese are: a, ă, â, e, ê, i, o, ô, ơ, u, ư, y. Basically, we can't pronounce a Vietnamese word without these guys!
0Back to this topic once again. I don't know any word that doesn't have vowels, so I asked the internet and found the word "blb".
This means "idiot" or "fool" in the Czech and Slovak languages. (I don't speak them btw).
