One thing I noticed is they call rolls buns and buns rolls.
"if you go to the store pick up some rolls for the hamburgers."
"The buns are in the oven. Put some butter on the table for them."

That’s what your major problem is?

Don't overlook Burgundy ....the street, not the region, wine, or color.

But people down here say it with a short A…. AL-mund. Like Al Bundy.
Grew up in new orleans and have never heard someone pronounce it that way in my life.

To the dumbass who downvoted me, you literally have the means at your finger tips to look up the pronunciation online. Google spells it out for you and even has a handy little button you can click on there that will sound it for you audibly, so you can hear just how wrong you are.
From my Google, apparently I pay for the more complete version:
Breaking Down the Variations
The "Silent L" / "AH-muhnd": This is often considered the standard pronunciation in British English and is prevalent in many parts of the United States. The "a" is pronounced like the "a" in "father", followed by a short "uh" sound for the second syllable.
The "Hard L" / "AL-muhnd": This variation is very common across North America, particularly in the Midwest and parts of the South. Here, the "L" is pronounced in the first syllable, similar to the word "all," followed by the "-mund" ending.
The California Divide: In California, the Central Valley (where the vast majority of almonds are grown) features a fun, local tradition: farmers often joke that they pronounce it AL-muhnd when the nuts are on the tree, and AH-muhnd off the tree (because they "shake the L out of 'em").
I routinely hear it both ways, and it doesn't bother me at all. Hard L salmon, on the other hand...

Hard L in salmon should be a felony

And I've heard Clio pronounced "C---L---10" by some of the more "colorful" locals.

Decades ago, I ordered an Almond snowball (not snow cone!) at Sal's in Metairie and the girl corrected my pronunciation claiming that the L was silent. Ahhh mund was her preferred version. I smiled and asked how much I owed. Too cute to argue with.
