Ankle is the joint connecting the foot to the leg, enabling foot movement and weight bearing. In everyday speech, ‘ankle’ refers to the area around the malleolus. It is a two-syllable word with primary stress on the first syllable, and its pronunciation involves a clear short-a followed by a velar nasal and a dark L. Mastery hinges on precise vowel quality and final-l sound articulation.
