How Do You Spell BAUGHN?
Pronunciation: [bˈɔːn] (IPA) 
The spelling of 'baughn' might seem odd, however it actually follows a common pattern in English. The word is pronounced as /bɔːn/ (bawn) and the letters 'augh' represent the same sound as 'aw'. This phenomenon is seen in words like 'caught' and 'taught'. The 'gh' in 'baughn' is silent and serves only to indicate the preceding 'au' sound. While seemingly confusing at first, understanding common pronunciation patterns in English can make spelling and reading much easier.
