/ãŋ.ˈɡle/ There's a -z at the end if there's a vowel following it, IIRC.

ETA: I just realized that most people don't know IPA, so what I wrote is unintelligible to most...
The A is like the A in "father", except you say it through your nose. You'll feel it vibrating in your sinuses, as well as in the back of your throat.
The N is like the NG in "sing".
and the "glais" sounds like the English word "glaze" before a vowel, and drop the -Z before a consonant, or when it's by itself.
Stress falls on the last syllable.

I need to get some sleep... If anyone wants to see some of their speech in IPA, PM me a link to your post, because things tend to get buried in this thread.

Once you eliminate the impossible, whatever remains, however improbable, must be the truth... unless you royally screwed up.

That is what Google Translate gave me, when I ran a web search, so I am glad it is not wrong. the last part is what confuses me, because I think I should pronoun it as awn gla sei (I am separating for how I think it should be said, due to the phrase "Parlez-vous Francais?"). But I will not blame you for not explaining how it is pronounced. Probably have to run it through my computer, since it has something where I type in whatever I want and it reads it back.
That's uh, accurate-ish? Here I'll try. You leave out a lot of sounds that are written down in French, 'Anglais' does not have a s sound at the end because of this. It comes out more like... awnglai? awngley? xD It's a lot like Français in the end part *proceeds to speak French to self and still not be able to write down how it's pronounced*
I guess that is why accent marks help in pronounication. Anyway, I ran it through my computer's little program and it pronounces it as ang leys, which gives the a a long vowel sound, but since s is supposed to be silent at the end, like in Jacques, according to you, the correct pronunciation is probably ang ley. Could still be wrong though.

Edit: Looked up something better I was pronouncing the beginning correctly, so I would say that the first one in your post was right.

Edit 2: Forget that last note. Upon more looking around, the last part of anglais has neither an s sounds nor a long a it is supposed to have sound similar to the i in if, so it is difficult to spell the correct pronounication.

Fine Yuri, since you clearly called me out on it ( ::) ) I'll record something tomorrow and put it up. I'm totally fine with it *starts freaking out*
Yep totally fine.
I think you missed the part where I said it was fine if you didn't want to do it.
BTW, I wonder, what kind of accent do I have? (as in English location wise)

I know it's been based on a fan's concept so I love this intro to bits.
