Pronunciation: [pˈɪɡte͡ɪld] (IPA) 
The word "Pigtailed" is spelled with the combination of two consonants "PT". At first glance, it may seem unusual, but it is not uncommon in English. The "P" sound is a voiceless bilabial plosive, while the "T" sound is a voiceless alveolar stop. Both sounds are produced by briefly stopping the airflow with a closure of the lips and the tongue respectively. Thus, the correct phonetic transcription of "Pigtailed" is /ˈpɪɡteɪld/.

The term "pigtailed" typically implies that the person has long hair, as pigtails are commonly associated with longer hair lengths.
