Almonds

You are all talking nuts!

ALmonds here in Birmingham. I've only heard people on TV call them Armonds.

Armonds for me almonds for DH

Yorkshire parents for me DH is from the Midlands

I grew up in North Cumberland and never heard almonds pronounced any other way than ahmonds.

The 'armonds' was my illustration of the normal pronunciation when i was young.

Other people have, i think, suggested 'ahmonds' for the same thing.

That makes more sense.

I never pronounce the L. Ahmonds for me.

Almonds here Merseyside.

Silent L for me in the south east . So armonds

How can it be aRmonds - there is no R!!

Armonds where I live in NW

Ahmonds.
Dh eats tons of them!

Ahmonds!

Thinking about this here is how we said it “olmond”.😉

We always pronounced the L in almond in our house. Maybe it was how my Irish Mum said it. They also say “filum” instead of “film”. Loads of similar examples too.

Whatever you call them, they are delicious. 🙂My Mum always called marzipan Almond Paste.

To me, the l in almonds is silent, as is the l in salmon. I thought pronouncing the l in almonds was an Americanism.

The standard Received Pronunciation in British English is always Ahmund. Almond, sounding the L, is a spelling pronunciation.

That's certainly what I've always known to be the case - silent 'L'. No idea where 'armonds' came from, as there's no 'r' in it?

My neighbour says All munds. Double L

Ahmunds

There! I knew we wus posh, kittylester 😁

Phew that's a relief, calli. I was a bit worried.

It’s nothing to do with where you come from in Britain. Received Pronunciation is the same everywhere.

American ‘English’ can be different.

Most definitely a silent L!!
