[BiscuitLover3678]

How do you pronounce it and where are you from?

Ol-mund NW

Almund, sounding the "l". South East.

Al-mund. While I get some people say Ah-mund - I don't understand those of you who put an R in there..?
(Scotland SE)

@DueyCheatemAndHow

Ah-mund. SE

Same and same 😁

Al-mund is how I say it.

County Down, Northern Ireland.

Al-mund. Ireland.

Arrl mund (Hertfordshire)

Ol-mund - West Yorkshire

Oll-mund Manchester

Correctly.
SE England.

Al-mnd without a clear o or a sound between the m and n.

Al-mund. While I get some people say Ah-mund - I don't understand those of you who put an R in there..? (Scotland SE)

I think it's people who don't roll their rs. So ar and ah sound the same in my accent. Though I may be wrong.

Al-mond (east York's)

Ah - mund. SE England

Arlmond. Never really thought about it until I sat here saying it over & over again!

Ol- mund
Leicestershire

@MsMiaWallace

Al-mund Notts area

Al-mund here and also Notts area.

Ah-mund (maybe more like ar-mund)- Kent originally, now Edinburgh

Al mund
South Wales

I try to avoid saying it because I'm so confused about the silent L to be honest.,

Luckily I don't really eat them so can't even remember last time I said it.

Why is the L silent?

Aah mund (Northern Ireland)

My MIL in Devon says Ol mund

@rosegoldwatcher

AL - Mund. (Northampton out of South Wales.)

Why would it be pronounced differently? (Learning much from this thread.)

Because the original "correct" pronunciation was with a silent "L" in British English. Either is acceptable now but the RP pronunication is ah-mund. I don't think how people pronounce almond is a dialect/regional/class thing though, as this thread is showing,
