"Dieckman" is typically spelled with two "k"s, despite the fact that it may be counterintuitive to English speakers. This is due to the Germanic origins of the name, which leads to its unique phonetic pronunciation. In IPA (International Phonetic Alphabet) transcription, "dieckman" is pronounced as "diːkmən," with the "ie" producing a long "i" sound and the two "k"s creating a sharp, unvoiced consonant sound. Paying attention to these nuances can ensure that one spells and pronounces "Dieckman" correctly.
