Common mistakes of faisal pronunciation

Misplacing stress: Many people incorrectly stress the second syllable, saying "fai-SAL" instead of the correct "FAI-sal" (/ˈfaɪ.zəl/). Tip: Remember to emphasize the first syllable for accurate pronunciation.
Incorrect vowel sounds: Some may pronounce "faisal" with a long "a" sound, like "fay-sal." This is incorrect. The correct pronunciation includes a short "a" sound as in "zə." Tip: Focus on the "ai" sounding like "eye" and keep the "a" short.
Overemphasizing the "s": A common mistake is to pronounce the "s" too strongly, leading to "fai-SAL" with a heavy "s." The correct pronunciation is softer: "FAI-zəl." Tip: Practice saying the word smoothly to reduce the emphasis on "s."
Omitting the final syllable: Some speakers may drop the last syllable, saying "fai" instead of "faisal." This results in an incomplete pronunciation. Tip: Always include the final "sal" to ensure clarity and completeness.
Confusing with similar names: People sometimes mix up "faisal" with names like "Faisal" or "Fayzal," leading to mispronunciation. The correct pronunciation is "FAI-zəl." Tip: Familiarize yourself with the specific pronunciation to avoid confusion with similar names.
