How Do You Spell CAMAL?

Pronunciation: [kˈamə͡l] (IPA)

The word "camel" is often misspelled as "camal". The correct spelling contains two syllables, with stress on the first syllable ("KA-mel"). The "a" is spelled with a short "a" sound, as in "cat", and the "e" is pronounced as a schwa sound, similar to the "u" in "cup". The final "l" is pronounced, unlike in some other words such as "caramel". So, next time you see a four-legged desert animal, remember to spell it "camel" instead of "camal".
