The spelling of the word "boland" may seem confusing due to the presence of two letters 'o' and 'a' together. However, knowing the IPA phonetic transcription can help us understand the correct spelling. The correct pronunciation of "boland" is /ˈbəʊlənd/. The 'o' in the first syllable is pronounced as in "low". The 'a' in the second syllable is pronounced like the 'a' in "father". Thus, the word is spelled as "b-o-l-a-n-d".
