Regional dialect poll: how do you pronounce "aunt"? My friend from New Jersey and I do not agree on this topic.

@LadyButters The top two, with 'ahnt' being marginally more formal / proper.

@LadyButters it depends on the context for me. If I’m specifying “aunt NAME” I pronounce it as “ant”, but if I’m saying the word on its own, I usually pronounce it as “awnt”.

@LadyButters In Serbian it depends if it is your mother's sister, your mother's brother's wife, your father's sister or your father's brother's wife... Every relation up to 5th generation has unique name, all further relations in both directions have one and the same name that translates to "white bees". (Ex my great great great great great grandmother is white bees to me and I am white bees to her)

@LadyButters this native Masshole says “awnt” and “awntie” and gets strange looks from the Wisconsin people who say “ant”

@LadyButters "ahnt" is for people trying to sound fancy and it's very off-putting.
