Help[Opinions] Re: Maali?
in reply to a message by Amphelise
OK. I'm a little confused, I guess. Would you pronounce Molly the same as us, but pronounce Maali differently from us?

English and Australian phonics have a very short /o/ sound which doesn’t exist in most North American accents. If you’ve ever heard a British person say “lorry”, it’s that /o/ sound which we use in Molly. Maali on the other hand would have a longer /ah/ sound, like the /a/ in “fast”. It would be indistinguishable from Marley but distinctly different to Molly.
