In Scotland and Northern Ireland, is the contracted form 'amn't' used? In a book, I read such a story? Is it right?

Answer 1

Yes, "amn't" is used there. I don't know whether it's considered standard usage though. The word "ain't" is used in the U.S., but it is not considered proper English.

Answer 2

Thank you. Then how do you pronounce "amn't'? Do we pronounce the letters 'm,' 'n,' and 't' all together?

Answer 3

I don't know, but you're probably right.

The problem is that we have no good way of saying something like this.

I'm smart, am I not?

That's correct. but awkward.

But these are wrong.

I'm smart, ain't I?
and
I'm smart, aren't I?
and
I'm smart, amn't I?
