The spelling of "Surling" might confuse some people, but it actually follows a common pattern in English. The word is pronounced /ˈsɜːrlɪŋ/, with the emphasis on the first syllable. The "s" at the beginning of the word is followed by a stressed syllable with the vowel sound "er" (represented by the IPA symbol /ɜːr/). This is then followed by the unstressed syllable "ling," which rhymes with the word "thing." Despite its unusual spelling, "Surling" follows the typical rules of English pronunciation.
