The word "Aligulus" is spelled with the Latin letter "g" which is pronounced differently than in English. In IPA phonetic transcription, it is represented by the symbol [ɡ], which is a voiced velar plosive. This means that the sound is made by stopping the airflow with the back of the tongue against the soft palate, then releasing it with a sudden burst. The "u" is pronounced as [u], a close back rounded vowel. The overall pronunciation of "Aligulus" is [aˈliːɡʊlus].
