The word "selinger" is often misspelled due to its unusual combination of letters. The correct pronunciation is /sɛlɪŋər/ with the stress on the first syllable. The "s" is pronounced as "s" in "sit", the "e" is a short vowel sound similar to "e" in "bet", the "l" is pronounced distinctly as in "lilac", and the "ng" is pronounced as in "singer". The final "er" is pronounced as "er" in "her" and not as "ar" in "car".
