How do you pronounce almond?

[BiscuitLover3678]

How do you pronounce it and where are you from?

I don't get the 'mund' or 'mond'. I say ah-min-d

Why is this thread making me laugh?

all men

US mid-Atlantic accent

@dementedpixie

Ah-mund (scotland)

Same

Ammund (Dublin)

Ah-mund (London)

Ah mnd east London but a more neutral accent, parents both quite strong cockney type accents dad says Al mnd (but also bizarrely says wardrove) mum says Ah mnd 🤷‍♀️

God knows. It's Ah-mund-ane thread.

Arrrmund NW but also spent long time in SE.

@Sportsnight

Ah(l) mund - london

Difficult to write - there is a very weak L sound in there

This. Lincs originally but no matter where I've lived and how my accent's changed I've not said almond any differently 😬

Al mund (South West)

@Mangofandangoo

AL mond - Oxfordshire

Same as this. I'm from Lancashire.

Are-mend.

'Straya

Arrr mond

South west and my Rs sound rather piratey

Dm told me off for saying Al mond but that makes more sense to me

Ar-mund. Australia.

Here it shows the prononciation for the UK. Al-mund/Oll-mund is the American pronunciation. dictionary.cambridge.org/dictionary/english/almond

Arl-mund - East of England

@turnaroundtime

I don't get the 'mund' or 'mond'. I say ah-min-d

Where’s the “i” coming from?! Is this the nut equivalent of people who say “marshmellow”?

All-mund

Where are people getting Ar from.
There's no letter r in the word🤷🏼‍♀️

Almund

@HemanOrSheRa Same here and I am saying it out loud. If you click on my link above you can hear it being said, both the UK version and the American version. I've been playing it over and over. Luckily I've got my headphones on otherwise my family would think I've gone crazy.

Owl- (as in the bird) - mund

(Midlands)

(You said it in my accent didn't you 😝)

@patritus The 'l' in almond is silent. Just like it is for alms. dictionary.cambridge.org/dictionary/english/alms

According to the Cambridge, it is Ar-mund and Arms.
