Founylorjykyl Englix
F=E4nyl=E4jikyl Inglyx
(fawn-aw-law-gee-cal een-gleesh)

=E4 stands for a as in awe.
y stands for schwa
j as in james
i as in in/ill/instant/illicit
x as in sh

Does Your version still disagree with mine?

Founylorjykyl Inglix
(foh-nuh-lodj-uh-kuhl ing-glish)
ou =3D o in boat, home
y =3D  a in ago (schwa)
or =3D o in bot, hog
i =3D a in ill/instant/illicit
j =3D dg in bridge
x =3D sh is shot
