LL is a cross between th and cl,  f = v ,   g is hard,  au is a back of the mouth ai

So -

 clthanviangle genair glin

(the c is hardly sounded )

Song about the place sung by Welsh ladies choir. You can first hear it pronounced at about 37 seconds in and it is repeated throughout https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Bz4TqX2bi5Q
