Anyone else pronounce the 'l' in salmon

[Skywalker3]

I grew up always pronouncing the 'l' in salmon. So, sal-mon. My parents and all of my aunts/uncles, would say it that way. This is deep south Alabama. I can't remember how folks said it in Louisiana. We never caught it fresh, ,just had canned salmon to make salmon patties.
I don't pronounce it like that any more, except for a slip up here and there, it's still my first inclination to do so, but my husband hassles me to NO END anytime I do. Only heard one other older, southern, Alabamian woman say in recently.

For the past 40 or so years, the L is silent, although I do occasionally slip up and pronounce it.

When I was young, I ofTen said saLmon.

Silent L for me

Silent L

 

[kanerf]

Sounds too much like Salmonella if you pronounce it that way.

 

[BrianL]

I do not pronounce the L excepting when I am purposely mispronouncing it to be funny.

 

[mom2rb]

Until I was an adult I thought that it was two different types of fish.

 

[CynBeth]

I do not pronounce the L either.

My husband does and it drives me nuts.

To me the L is always silent.

However, with the L pronounced, it is a man’s name, Salman, which I believe is Arabic in origin. Like Salman Rushdie.

 

[StitchesGr8Fan]

When I read it in my head, yes. When I say it out loud, no.

Same! I know the L is supposed to be silent. However when I read it silently, it still sneaks in there. (And if I read it out loud, I have to force myself not to pronounce the L.)

 

[Mysterian]

Short answer: No

Long answer: Nooooooooo.

Nope, it's sammon

 

[Jennasis]

No.

 

[Micca]

If I hear someone say "sal-mon" I tell them to get the L out of there.

 

[AnnaS]

I use the L - my kids make fun of me every time.

(I also cannot pronouns the car brand SCION - I think that is the name.)
