I pronounce it a little unconventionally but, "Oh-Pee is a ******".

Had to do it. I say all-mah mah-ter.

I say it the same way as everyone else, im assuming its latin (?). But I'm Hispanic so I tend to pronounce everything as if it were a spanish word. Luckily the spanish language borrows a lot of root words from latin language down to the pronunciation.

Besides its obvious meaning, Alma is a common mexican name btw. I know a lot of them.
