The exact vowel sound can be up for debate, but it’s clearly one syllable.
This is not some weird one syllable word like “Pirates.”

I love accents and different ways of saying words - I find it interesting that, for the most part, black people pronounce the word Aunt like "ont" or "on-tee" - where we in the south pronounce it like ant - or pecan - some say "pee-can", we say "puh kahn"
I was watching tv the other day - a gathering of teens/college age kids in Houston and there was definitely a common sound to their speech but it wasn't southern! We are losing our southern accent I think
