To be appalled that DP pronounces the L in almond

[BumpPower]

I say armond.. Am I wrong? Almond sounds wrong..

So not Irish, where are you from umbongo? Excellent username btw

not sure why people are getting 'hateful' and hot under the collar - there are many versions of English within these islands, and it is not really something to get upset about.
For me, obviously it is 'barth' but no, I do not spell it like that....

Who cares. Really?

Al-mund. I'm from Cardiff. I have never ever heard anyone say armond/ahmond, anywhere.
Either I'm very sheltered or I just don't talk about nuts much!
I'm not broad Cardiff though... I say barth, not bath and scon, not scone.
And 'on-velope' not envelope... no idea if that's right or not.

I care. Passionately. (Or maybe it's more than I'm just really HOT at the moment.)

One does not pronounced the 'l' in almond.

balm, palm, almond, calm

are all pronounced as barm, parm, armond, carm - I'm from Leicestershire. Salmon has a silent L as well.

Do all you L pronouncers say that it's a Pall-m tree? Or lip ball-m? Or a Sall-mon?

And my history teacher was called Mrs Almond - pronounced by her as Armond

Pronounce, obviously. My sweaty fingers slipped.

For me, obviously it is 'barth' but no, I do not spell it like that....confused

You dont even say it like that.

oh but I do...(sitting here muttering 'barth barth')

No no no yp dont! You dont pronounce an r do you?

oh right....like barrrrth... no I do not, you are right...

I don't pronounce the L, and I say it as though it is aghm'nd or arm'nd
(I don't know what the spelling is as those both sound the same to me).

It seems lots of people say aLmond though from the answers so far.

Midlands, and it's Ol-mnd.

I've not heard anyone say ar-mund round here.

oh right....like barrrrth...grin no I do not, you are right

see!!

I'm from Leicestershire too. And it's Balm, Palm, Almond, Calm But I'll give you Sammon

So calm like cowl with an M on the end?

Hopefully not too outing but my surname has 'alm' within it. And when I say my surname I pronounce the l. It's not an r. It's an l.

calm as carlm, etc. Very common in my town

Ahmond, because it's a silent l and armond would sound like a pirate...

TheWitches - I'm also in Cardiff (originally from the Valleys) and have NEVER heard Ahmond. I didn't even know it was a thing! Almond for me, with a short A. I pronounce the L in alms too, but not in calm or palm?

Oh I see yes like the name Carl but then an M. Thank you, I'm going to listen out for this. I find it all so interesting.

I bet Marc Almond is an Alllllmond.

Dh is now mocking me because apparently I say 'owl mond' (east end vowels)

Like the poster above me said, the proper way to pronounce it is like the 'alm' in calm.
