The spelling of the name "Jackalynn" is pronounced as \dʒækəlɪn\ in IPA phonetic transcription. The name is spelled with a "J" instead of a "G" because it indicates a different sound in English, which is a voiced palato-alveolar affricate. The second syllable is spelled with the letter "a" to represent the short "a" sound, while the last syllable is spelled with two "n"s to indicate a nasal consonant. The final consonant "n" is articulated with a nasal airflow through the nose.
