Well, those two are names. Do they count? I don´t know if it is spelled correctly, but this word is also nice: Onomapoetikon.

Got to be 'Moist'. It sounds like what it means when you say it. What's the word for that? Ono... something??

Got a nice one, too. It's Hungarian and I'm told that it is pronounced exactly the way it is written.

OK! I know I'm pretty late with my reply but I can give you the german word with the most consecutive consonants: "Angstschweiss"
(cold sweat).
Yep: eight consonants in a row. Impressive, isn't it?!

Well, it´s no so impressive when it´s german. You people seem to have a fear of letting your s´es be alone. It is always with a few z´s and c´s besides it.

Angstschweiß? Well, eight consonants are nice. But how about nine?
Borschtschmaus
The word consists of two parts "Borscht" and "Schmaus".
Borscht is defined by Webster's Unabridged as:
borscht (bôrsht), n.
any of various eastern European soups made with beets, cabbage, potatoes, or other vegetables and served hot or chilled, often with sour cream. Also, borsch (bôrsh), borshch (bôrsh, bôrshch).
[1880-85; < Yiddish borsht; cf. Ukrainian, Byelorussian, Russ borshch soup with red beets as ingredient; or directly < East Slavic]
Schmaus is the German word for "feast".
