The spelling of the word "boudjellal" is not immediately intuitive for those unfamiliar with the French language. The IPA phonetic transcription of the word is [bu.dʒɛ.lal], which breaks down as "b" pronounced as "b" in "book," "ou" as "oo" in "food," "d" as "d" in "dog," "j" as "j" in "jam," "e" as "e" in "pet," "l" as "l" in "leg," "a" as "a" in "father," and "l" again as "l" in "leg."
