The word "Sprong" may seem a bit unusual at first glance, but its spelling can be explained using the International Phonetic Alphabet (IPA). The initial "s" sound is followed by the "p" and "r" sounds, creating a consonant cluster. The final sound is represented by the vowel symbol "o," pronounced as in "long." Putting it all together, the IPA transcription would be /sprɒŋ/. Despite its unconventional spelling, "Sprong" is a valid surname and may have origins in Dutch or Afrikaans languages.
