Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 16:18:32 GMT

Do you pronounce the L in almond? That’s the question asked by the Amond vs. Almond Project, a survey by University of California Agriculture and Natural Resources.“Both pronunciations are technically correct,” the project’s authors say on their website. “We want to find out why people pronounce ‘almond’ a certain way, and determine geographic boundaries where certain pronunciations are used.”According to people who spend a lot of time in almond country, the no-L pronunciation is common among those from longtime almond-farming families.

No-L proponents also cite the conventional pronunciation of salmon.Answers from the online survey are being plotted on the map displayed below: red for ALL-mund, green...
