"SEON" is a word that can be spelled using the International Phonetic Alphabet (IPA) as /siɒn/. The first sound, /s/, is an unvoiced alveolar fricative, made by forcing air through a narrow channel formed by the tongue and the upper teeth. The second sound, /i/, is a close front unrounded vowel, pronounced with the tongue raised towards the front of the mouth. The third sound, /ɒ/, is an open back rounded vowel, pronounced with the tongue lowered and pulled back. The final sound, /n/, is a voiced alveolar nasal, made by vibrating the vocal cords while the air flows through the nose.
