There are in fact typeless languages that are neither statically nor dynamically typed, although they aren't particularly relevant nowadays -- BCPL, Forth, and assembly, among others. These languages have only words that hold integer values, with different operators treating the words as an integer, pointer, etc. Those who claim that only static types are worthy of the name "type" would probably consider both dynamically typed and typeless languages to be equally untyped -- dynamically typed languages just support richer semantics on their values, such as storing a "tag" (i.e., dynamic type) in each value.
