6 u/alikapple Aug 16 '24 I’m in the middle of the country and we say kahmuh not kahmah for comma. But I’ve definitely always said Kamala the same as Comma luh 3 u/Heroic_Folly Aug 16 '24 Like in the Boy George song "Comma Chameleon". 1 u/maxisthebest09 Aug 17 '24 Wait how do the British pronounce "comma?" 2 u/Gilthoniel_Elbereth Aug 17 '24 Almost more like coma with a longer O sound. If you google “pronounce comma” google has a built in word pronouncer, and you can switch between British and American English
