One of my favorites is vlk, Slovak for wolf. Not English, though. I have a handful more at my Disemvoweled list, including pfft, psst, hm and of course shh.
How about slyly?
I would say that tsk doesn't really have a vowel sound. Thoughts?
Does bzzz count?
In cwm, the w acts as a vowel. I guess the distinction I should make is between a vowel letter and a vowel sound. I don't think there is an English word without a vowel sound.
Actually, y acts as a vowel in all of these words. However, they don't have a, e, i, o, or u, which I assume is the point.
cwm is the exception.
Y acts as a vowel in the majority of these words.
You forgot the awesome syzygy.
I would also add cwm, a Welsh word that uses w for its vowel sound instead of y.
