How Do You Spell NEAGH?

Pronunciation: [nˈiːɡ] (IPA)

The word "Neagh" is spelled with a silent "gh" at the end, despite its pronunciation being /niː/ according to IPA phonetic transcription. This spelling is derived from the original Irish word for the largest lake in Northern Ireland, Lough Neagh. The use of silent letters in English words can make it difficult for non-native speakers to learn and for native speakers to spell accurately. However, understanding the history and origin of words can help to explain their peculiar spellings.
