How Do You Spell AMCLAO?
Pronunciation: [ˈamkla͡ʊ] (IPA) 
The spelling of the word "AMCLAO" can be a bit puzzling for those unfamiliar with Scottish Gaelic pronunciation. Using IPA phonetic transcription, the word is pronounced /ˈaŋklu/. The "AM" sound is equivalent to the English "ung" sound, followed by a soft "C" sound (similar to "ch" in "chicken"), "L" sound, and "AO" diphthong (pronounced like "ow" in "cow"). This unique spelling is a great example of the intricacies and beauty of the Scottish Gaelic language.
