Okay, so "Grail" in french is "Graal"
We're making progress.

Now for the important part, how do you pronounce the "aa" in "Graal" when saying "Graal" in French?

Is it like English's A in "Angel", "fail", and "gingerale"?

Or is more like English's "A" and "O" in "Fall", "doll, and "ball"?

Or is it like how we say "bell", "tell", and "fell"?

I can't think of anything else that's possible.

My point is, no matter where you are or what language you're speaking "Graal" should only have 1-pronunciation. If it's French, it should be pronounced in it's French pronunciation even if you're speaking English UNLESS it is renamed/translated to Grail.
