"Amt" is a word in German. It is pronounced exactly as it looks, plus a glottal stop at the start.

Surprising. It's not that hard to say "amt", but it's not any easier than just "mt". The syllable has a vowel in it, but
I don't know if that's just an odd word, or if Germany has different rules. For all I know, they frequently have syllables without vowels. I would expect them to follow the same rules, since English is a Germanic language, but I guess getting rid of almost all of their words would lead to getting rid of almos...
