Pronunciation of admiral [ǽdmərəl]
admiral [?dm?r?l]
ladder [l?d?r]
Is the d in the word admiral pronounced as a flap sound like d in the word ladder?
I think that because of m sound before the vowel ?, it should not be pronounced as a flap sound but it sounds like a flap sound to my ears.
What do you native English speakers think? Thank you so much as usual in advance.

It is usually pronounced as ad-mi-ral. The letter d is pronounced clearly, as it is in the word ladder. The mi part should be pronounced like the mi part of the words middle and mix.
