The spelling of the word "Oriolle" (pronounced [ɔ.ʁjɔl]) may seem unusual to some, but it is actually the French spelling of the word "oriole". The IPA phonetic transcription helps to clarify the pronunciation of the word, which begins with an open-mid back rounded vowel sound [ɔ] followed by a uvular trill [ʁ]. The second syllable features a close-mid back rounded vowel sound [o] and a palatal approximant [j], which is a sound similar to the "y" in "yes". The final syllable is pronounced with an open-mid front rounded vowel sound [ɔ], followed by an unvoiced lateral fricative [ɬ].
