How to pronounce this word. You start with an s sound, then the a as in cat. However, even though there is an l in the spelling, we do not pronounce it. So it's not sal men, but sa men. The o is also not pronounced an m sound, de schwa and an n men. Salmon now tell me, do you pronounce the l in this word, or do you not pronounce the l in this word? Let me know in the comments. Salmon.
