Pronunciation of name (ǀә ʘaliqaᴚɑ)
The painfully and obviously fake name displayed on my profile is written in IPA (International Phonetic Alphabet) and was essentially me throwing random symbols together to make something as painfully fake as it is. This audio is a pronunciation of the full name, cut down for your viewing pleasure. This idea came up via a voice chat but I also just wanted to post it so that, in the case of another language/phonetics nerd's arrival, I would be able to explain exactly what the name is and how it is meant to be pronounced.
Here's a breakdown of each letter:
ǀ : Dental click - a click sound produced with the tongue in the same place as in the t sound
ә : Schwa - "softer" sounding version of the vowel in "but", "gut", "banana"
ʘ : Bilabial click - smacking open the lips from an "m" position (only the front of the lips)
ali : the Prince of Agrabah
q : Uvular voiceless plosive - as in the Arabic "Qatar"; like a k sound where the French r sound is said
a : obvious
ᴚ : Uvular voiced fricative - "soft" French r sound
ɑ : Alpha - as in "pot", the further-back vowel, as opposed to "ah"
