How can I construct word "hm" with Alexa SSML? I have tried this, but it is not completely natural. Please advice.

<speak>
    <emphasis level="strong"><p>Hm.</p></emphasis> 
    You are right.
</speak>

Use Speechcon of SSML.

Hmm is available in English India Speechcon. To include a speechcon in your skill's text-to-speech response, use the <say-as interpret-as="interjection"> SSML tag

Ex:

<speak>
   <say-as interpret-as="interjection">hmm</say-as>
    <break time="0.5s"/> 
    You are right.
</speak>
