Q. Why is the L silent in salmon?

The real question is, why DON’T we pronounce the L in “salmon”? The French, as was their wont, had swallowed up the Latin L in their pronunciation, so by the time we English borrowed the word, it was saumon, no L in the spelling and so no L in the pronunciation. It is saumon in French to this day.
