I mean, “Adëlæm” would have lots of potential pronunciations depending on what RL languages it is similar to. For example, “ë” could be pronounced as a schwa (Albanian), as an English short e (Uyghur), or just be a marker for a set of two monophthongs (French), though that would be impossible given the situation.

It really depends.
