I don't pronounce the l in any of those! How can you pronounce the l in calm and palm?!?
And was it actually treacle or was it golden syrup? I pronounce the "L" in calm, palm, psalm. I don't know how, exactly, but I hear it, so it is there. Treacle??

So, how do *you* say almond?
/'ɑmənd/
For the record, I do not pronounce the l in talk, walk, or psalm, but do in calm and palm. so talk and tak would sound the same? how about walk and wak and wok?

thanks. tak and wak aren't words but I just wondered if you would pronounce them the same way (if they were) as talk and walk.
the more I say talk and walk I realize there's not any L in them for me, either.
what about talc?

I don't know how to pronounce non-words owing to the fact that English spelling is so screwed up. If forced to, I'd pronounce them as tack and whack.
what about talc?
I do pronounce the l in talc, but the vowel is different from the one in talk.
