Walk is surely W-awe-k to rhyme with dork! Wok rhymes with sock and a wok is what I cook stir fry in. I am still amazed/taken aback/flabbergasted/surprised that anyone would pronounce the L in yolk. Yes yolk and yoke are different words with different meanings but they are pronounced exactly the same in my world. Such an enlightening and interesting thread. Walk is pronounced wore-k? No. Walk does not rhyme with dork. Dork has a very pronounced /r/ and walk doesn’t have the /r/ sound at all. Its different in an English/British accent.

Yes, we do around here. I have never heard anyone pronounce it without the "l" sound around here. I'm going with voltagain on this one. I agree. I pronounce the L in yolk. Yolk and yoke are two different words. They sound different and mean different things. The pronunciation of the yoke of a sweater and the yolk of an egg sound the same. The both rhyme with joke

Yes - I pronounce walk and wok the same /wɔk/ My mouth does two different things when saying these words. Not the same for me. "Wok" has a sharper ending for me. "Walk" has a softer, fade out ending for me. More drawn out than "wok". Walk to me rhymes with talk and wok rhymes with tok, as in tik tok

These threads always make me really agitated! I find them so fascinating. Although I do have a hard time wrapping my head around some of the pronunciations and rhyming words given as examples.

palm, yolk, almond all have a distinct, almost hard, L sound. Salmon does have a soft barely voiced L to it. So you say yoLk? I don't think I've ever heard anyone sound the L in yolk, although I have heard it in salmon and almond. Yes, the egg has a yolk with an L.

I agree. I pronounce the L in yolk. Yolk and yoke are two different words. They sound different and mean different things. The pronunciation of the yoke of a sweater and the yolk of an egg sound the same. The both rhyme with joke Yoke rhymes with joke but yolk rhymes with folk.. said more like fold but using a k instead of a d ending.

Hahaha this is like the Aaron / Erin thing in reverse....... A lot of American Peas say that Aaron and Erin sound the same, and the rest of us are saying um, no they don't. This time, the Aussies and Brits are saying that joke / yoke / folk and yolk all sound the same, and Americans are saying um, no they don't!

I’m trying to come up with alternate pronunciations in my head and can’t figure out what they would be.

I may think I am saying them different, but not really.

Aaron = Air-Run with the emphasis on the first syllable and the second sort of tails off.
Erin = Eh-rin with equal emphasis on each sylllable.

Standing with gar . Palm - rhymes with arm almond - are'mund although I am tending to say ahl-mond more frequently yolk - rhymes with joke. This.

Well, it does to Australians and Brits, because we don't pronounce our Rs the same way Americans do. The 'or' in dork sounds the same as the 'aw' in claw or raw.

Saying it this way makes sense to me now. So really dork rhymes with walk - not walk rhymes with dork.

I’m trying to come up with alternate pronunciations in my head and can’t figure out what they would be. I have no idea how to explain it! Aaron rhymes with barren, a short 'a' sound like cat. Erin rhymes with Kerryn - more of an 'air' sound but a bit shorter. Actually, it's like the 'e' in egg. LOL, that probably didn't help you at all!
