The name "Wael" is often spelled differently depending on regional dialects. The correct way to pronounce it is /weɪl/ in the International Phonetic Alphabet. The "ae" is pronounced as a diphthong, making the "a" and "e" blend together. However, in some dialects, it may be spelled as "Wal" or "Wahl", where the "a" is pronounced as a pure vowel sound. Regardless, the spelling of the name does not affect its pronunciation, which is consistent with the IPA transcription.
