That's very odd, William. I say all the letters: Salt. Rhymes with vault, or malt.

Hi All,
I don't know the correct pronunciation of "Salt", sometimes I hear people say "Sout", sometimes I hear people "Shot"...this pronunciation of this word is not clear to me....please advise. Thanks.

I'm not a teacher, but I write for a living. Please don't ask me about 2nd conditionals, but I'm a safe bet for what reads well in (American) English.
In south Chinese dialects, s and sh are often interchanged or irrelevant, so he probably hears Cantonese speakers saying shot; native speakers never would, though.
The vowel can vary from /a/ to /o/ (basically). Every one pronounces the l and the t.
