No, Gal is another word for Girl, but they are two separate words and pronounced differently. And there is no 'informal US English,' just different dialects.

This differs from region to region. The deep south and Texas would pronounce it this way, but in the northern areas it's pronounced more like "Gurl." Most Canadians pronounce it that way.
