How would you pronounce Kalam?

[Icloud54]

It's a Arabic boys name. Just wondering if you saw it spelt, how would you pronounce it?

Kal - AHM.

Cal-um

I'd say Kay Lum

Kal-am
But I've never seen the name before.

Kah-lahm

Like Callum

Kah-lahm or Kah-lam. Definitely not Cal-lum

Kay-lum

Kay lum

Ca lam

So, like Callum/Calum but with am at the end rather than um.

Cuh-LAM

Kay lam
A life of correcting people....

Callum

Callum

Id say Kay-lam if I didn't know.

Kay-lum how is it pronounced?

Callum?

Like Callum except with an am at the end.

Same as Callum.

How is it supposed to be pronounced?

Ka- lam, like the first two syllables of calamity or Ka- lahm .

Kah-lamb.

I'd probably wonder if his parents were trying to come up with a yoo-neek spelling of Calum though.

Cal - lamb

I've got a nephew called this and we say Kay Lum

Cal-lam - like the first two syllables of 'calamity'.

Kay - Lam
