It has been suggested that the reason why "amn't" is not as widespread as other contractions is that English tends to dislike the nasal consonants /m/ and /n/ together. In Scottish English, amn't is generally used only when inverted as a question (i.e. "amn't I?"); in Hiberno-English it is also used in statements ("I amn't") and sometimes as a double negative ("amn't I not?"):

• I'm going home, amn't I?
• Amn't I coming?
• I amn't going to work today.
• I'm not late, amn't I not?
