Rhythm or twydylynngs (how ever you spell it)

I hope that that's right.

I would think that it is Rhythm....

After a quick Google, I discovered that it is TWYNDYLLYNGS which is an old welsh term. It is very rare and uncommon...

It means twins or something like that...

The only words with no vowels I know is "rhythm" and "hymn". So I'll go for "rhythm".

Rhythm. 6 letters, no vowels. Twyndyllyngs is not an English word.

I guess that one could argue both sides of that...
So, I guess that seeing as almost everybody here speaks english, I would have to agree with you on rhythm. The other word is statistically longer though.

You guys do realize that the letter "Y" in all of those words,is considered the vowel of the word.Like PrettyPro said.It is impossible in the English languages to have a word without a vowel.

Actually, the vowels are only a, e, i, o, and maybe u, if I remember correctly. I will go check it out.

Since it is in other languages, being opposite to consonants... I guess.
In Danish A, E, I, O, U, Y, Ã, Ã, and Ã... is considered vowels.
