The word "Lingel" is spelled with six letters which can be broken down into two sounds: /lɪŋ/ and /gəl/. The first sound /lɪŋ/ is spelled with the letters "l", "i", "n", and "g" and represents a nasalized form of the "i" vowel sound. The second sound /gəl/ is spelled with the letters "g" and "el" and represents a velar plosive followed by a syllabic "el" sound. The combination of these two sounds gives us the word "Lingel".
