The spelling of the word "Shauntee" can be explained using IPA phonetic transcription. The first two letters, "sh", represent the voiceless postalveolar fricative sound, while "au" represents the diphthong /ɔː/. The letter "n" represents the alveolar nasal sound /n/. The combined letters "t" and "ee" represent the voiceless alveolar plosive /t/ and the long vowel sound /iː/, respectively. Thus, the correct spelling of this name is pronounced as [ʃɔːnti].
