I pronounce it car-mull. My friends all pronounce it care-uh-mell. Also, I've always written in carmel, which is probably why I pronounce it 'wrong'.
Kah ("ah" is in "ant") ruh mel Emphasis on the first syllable I was raised on UK English though "Car-mel" is something different. It's a name. Means garden of paradise, like an Eden
It depends on where you are from, for me mel and mell are pronounced the same and mail and male are pronounced the same: but the two groups are pronounced differently. Some people may pronounce all 4 words differently.
