The spelling of the word "splawn" is not a common one and may lead to confusion on how to pronounce it correctly. The IPA (International Phonetic Alphabet) transcription for "splawn" is /splɔn/. It is pronounced with a nasal "o" sound in the middle, which is the same as the "on" in "song," followed by a silent "w." The "spl" at the beginning is pronounced with a strong "s" sound followed by a "pl" sound. The correct pronunciation of "splawn" is therefore "splaun."
