A '''vowel''' is any letter in the alphabet other than a [[consonant]]. The only written vowels in the [[English]] language are "a", "e", "i", "o", "u", and sometimes "y" depending on the context. It is nearly impossible to make a pronounceable word without using at least one vowel, though [[onomatapoeia|onomatapoeatic]] "words" such as "hmmm", "shhhh", and "brrr" have been used as a counterargument to this claim.

In addition foreign languages, such as the [[Slavic]] languages [[Polish]] and [[Czech]], have short words consisting of consonants only.
