The "o" in "con" is pronounced like "ah," and the following "n" sound is a nasal consonant.

The phrase am connected consists of two separate words: am and connected.
The word am is the first-person singular form of the verb to be in the present tense. Its etymology can be traced back to Old English, where it was derived from the West Germanic word am or em.
The word connected is the past participle form of the verb to connect. It comes from the Latin word connectere, which is a combination of the prefix con- (meaning together) and the verb nectere (meaning to bind). This Latin root has influenced various Romance languages, as well as its English counterpart connected.
