Vowels in the Englist Langauge

Is it true that there has to be a vowel in every word in the English langauge?
  

Top answer

My initial, gut-reaction is "yes". The only exception I can think of is "nth" [as in 'to the the nth degree'], but realize that it is pronounced as if it begins with a vowel /en/.

Yes, a sounding vowel -- not necessarily a vowel letter.
