How Do You Spell HAND?

The spelling of the English word "hand" is interesting because the "a" and "n" letters are pronounced differently than their standard sounds. The "a" is pronounced as a short "æ" sound and the "n" is silent. The phonetic transcription of "hand" is /hænd/. This spelling irregularity is due to the word's Middle English origin, where the word was spelled "hond" and pronounced with a similar sound. Over time, the spelling evolved but the pronunciation remained the same. The spelling of "hand" may be a challenge for English language learners but understanding its history can help clarify its unique pronunciation.
