Is it “Camel-uh” or “Cam-ahl-uh”?
Black chick that Trump is going to lose to. Just to make them angry.
This is the worst attempt in this whole thread 😂. Doesn’t even have the same letters!
However she pronounces it.
Right right right
and that would be … ?
Oh, I found the video on her Youtube channel literally addressing this question back in 2016:
Comma-luh
and that would be … ?
…the correct pronunciation.
Did you read the rest of my post? You can’t say “correctly pronounce it”, and then not give instruction. That doesn’t help anyone.
If the video specifically made to teach you how to pronounce her name didn’t help, what makes you think I can?
Your original post tells us to pronounce it the way she says it, but doesn’t actually show us how she says it.
How did you expect us to pronounce it correctly if we haven’t heard her say it?

Because I’m not her. You figured it out and found a video on your own, you clearly didn’t need me. Why would I know better than her how to pronounce it?

I didn’t. I presumed that if someone cared enough, they would find an appropriate video; that presumption was proven correct. But I never expected anyone to do anything, certainly not to get so incredibly butt-hurt by mild sarcasm.
You didn’t link to that video.
I never said I did.
You referred to it retroactively.

“Kahm-lah”.
Why would you think it can only be pronounced with an “uh” at the end? Where did that come from?
I could be wrong about how she uses her name of course, but I would pronounce it Cam-ahl-a, nothing the hard a at the end, as in apple.
We don’t say uhpple, we say apple.
I don’t think it would be correct to use the A in apple for any of the As in Kamala. It’s more of the A with an open mouth than constrained to the front. The A in calm is much closer imo
I should really be using the IPA to make my point here but I don’t know all the letters

I can’t think of any words that end in the hard a (but I’m willing to learn, hence this post).
But words that end in the letter a with the “uh” sound seem to be common:
China Koala Academia Pizza Cicada
Huzzah does (as do similar words like hurrah), but it’s hard to find a non-stressed version, except for maybe chutzpah
Karma-la… But drop the ‘r’
I pronounce it like the toki pona word “kalama”
No, i do not swap “la” and “ma”

I say it as [ˈka.ma.la].

It’s 'cause we took the letters from Latin, which actually had 5 vowels, and applied it to a Germanic language which, in my dialect, has 17.
We also standardised the spelling hundreds of years ago, and never updated it, but that’s a sort of separate issue.
