The word "NONLOS" is spelled using the letters N-O-N-L-O-S. In IPA phonetic transcription, it is pronounced as /ˈnɑnlɑs/. The N is pronounced with a nasal where the sound is formed at the back of the nose. The first O is pronounced as an open-mid back rounded vowel. The letter L is pronounced as a voiced alveolar lateral approximant, which means the sound is made by placing the tongue on the alveolar ridge while allowing air to flow past it. The final S is pronounced as an unvoiced alveolar sibilant, formed by forcing air through a small gap between the tongue and the alveolar ridge.
