The spelling of the word "Tignor" follows the English language's unpredictable nature. The IPA phonetic transcription would be /ˈtɪnɔr/. The first syllable follows the typical pronunciation of "tin" (/tɪn/), while the second syllable is pronounced with an "aw" sound (/ɔr/), similar to "door." The letter "g" is silent, and the "i" is pronounced as a short "i" (/ɪ/). While the spelling may seem unusual, it is still a valid and unique surname.
