Almonds

Probably imported from America...they pronounce everything phonetically. Like the name Wagner....Waaagner!!!

Exactly what grandtante says..............and I like mine gently toasted and sprinkled over plain yogurt with some honey

My husband says almonds and I say armonds. Obviously he is wrong 😃

Ditto, NotAGran55.

And while we’re at it, he’s also
wrong on scone, suit, orange, and any others I may have forgotten.

grandetanteJE65 is absolutely correct .
The L is silent as it is in salmon .

Ahmonds - silent 'l' as in Salmon. A friend usually calls them 'aulmods' with the 'l' sounded. What does it matter - we understand each other.

Ahmonds for me, grew up in the south-east. Why go to the extra trouble of pronouncing the 'l'?

Nuts?

I don’t think 🤔 Marc Almond’s name is pronounced Almond?

Nightsky2

Flappergirl….Awmonds with the aw pronounced sounds more Bristolian.

It is indeed Bristolian Nightsky2 and awmonds are gert lush.

I’ve never heard anyone say it with a silent L! This is a new one on me!

I have lived in the north east and Cumbria and it is definitely armunds.

Looks like American pronunciation may include L but not English. Neither says it with R!

I was beginning to lose my mind over this particular spelling & pronunciation 🙄

I've always said almonds - I'm not American, by the way - and have noticed the opposite to you. Far more people on TV seem to be pronouncing the word as armond.

I have found the same thing with "forehead". When I was growing up, the pronunciation was "forrid", now it seems to be "for-head", ie pronounced as it's spelt.

Also "halfpenny" used to be "hape-nee" and is now often pronounced as it's spelt.

Oh, and I don't actually like nuts of any kind, including the almond/armond and the especially the heinousness it is used for; ie marzipan.
I have always said forehead as it is spelt but agree with you about hapepenny rather than the literal pronunciation, but as even the decimal version has been out of circulation for over forty years, none of us have much need of the word these days.

I am Leicester born and bred and we've always said "ahmonds." I always assumed that "almonds" was posh.

Ahmunds in East Yorkshire too and The Midlands.

Bristolian born and bred and it's always almonds with the L for me. Mind you, there are different dialects around Bristol so it might vary across the region!

Always ahmonds in both the south east and for the last 30yrs in Devon.

those who pronounce the L in almonds,
how would you say,
almshouses,
give alms of your charity.

Always been almonds to me

Definitely ahmonds in Hertfordshire - or was up to the 1970s

It’s always been Almonds, haven’t heard of “armonds” ?? until today!!

In Wales…
