The word "nonsimular" is interesting due to its unconventional spelling. The correct spelling should be "non-similar." "Non" means "not," and "similar" refers to things that are alike. The IPA phonetic transcription for "nonsimular" would be /nɒnˈsɪmjʊlə/. This means that the first syllable is pronounced with a short "o" sound, followed by a stressed "s" sound and a short "i" sound. The final syllable is pronounced with a "yu" sound and a short "u" sound. Despite its incorrect spelling, "nonsimular" is sometimes used as a variation of "non-similar."
