Sound of "rl"
I have learned that L in words like world, girl is pronounced as a dark L and then I was wondering if we can say that all rl spelling is pronounced as a dark L or it just depends on what the word with rl is? What do you native English speakers think and how do you pronounce words with rl spelling?

Hans51 I was wondering if we can say that all rl spelling is pronounced as a dark L Yes, if the rl is syllable-final, but not when the r and the l are in separate syllables, as in "Orlando", which is pronounced as if these were two words "or lando". CJ
