American and urban? I’ve noticed that all a lot of black people in and near cities pronounce the L. I always get a chuckle and they look at me like I’m a pompous British/French general from the 1800s or an idiot that can’t pronounce Ls.
Yea I’m finding the bulk of the Vermont accent is just stressing the beginning of words and mumbling the least letter. So lie we kinn a sou liee thihs all the timee. It was pretty jarring moving to Florida after growing up around folks that talked like that.

In Vermont we also pronounce the L however the N is dropped.
So interesting how different it can be!
