Even if Figlyphs are equal to the English alphabet, how they are pronounced is actually different.
A.K.A: tl;dr – I know all the letters in Figlyphs already. What's the difference?
If you are having trouble knowing how it's pronounced, you can check it's corresponding IPA sound.
※ Pronouncing this can be slightly altered due to accents, and may not be accurate altogether.

For vowels, it's purely similar to how the Japanese pronounces their vowels. On stacked vowels, however, the pronounced first vowel will immediately transition to the next vowel without prolonging it unless it's two of the same symbol.
