The spelling of the word "Kenya" is often mistaken as "Kennya". However, the correct spelling is with one "n". The incorrect spelling can be attributed to the fact that the pronunciation of "ny" in Ken-ya can sound like an "n" sound followed by a "y" sound. The IPA phonetic transcription for "Kenya" is /ˈkɛnjə/, which highlights the correct pronunciation of the word. As with any word, it is important to pay attention to the correct spelling to ensure clear communication.
