I can be more accurate if I use the International Phonetic Alphabet. There is no clue that Sangheili have imperative but I posted it for info to bemore aaccurate in case they have one. The change of pronunciation in some words can be justified by the fact that the Sangheili in Halo 4 are from different regions in different worlds. Like Jul and Get for instance. All non English characters are there todenote non eEnglish sounds. Also t has almost always a click before it. q and k denote different sounds. The English alphabet is inadequate to describe Sangheili phonology because most of their sounds do not exist in English/or can only be clearly expressed via the IPA.{{Unsigned|The Master Builder}}
