How Do You Spell MELBORN?
Pronunciation: [mˈɛlbɔːn] (IPA) 
The word "Melborn" is not a correct spelling of the Australian city "Melbourne". The correct spelling of the city's name is pronounced /ˈmɛlbərn/ with the stress on the first syllable. The 'o' is replaced with an 'ou' and the final 'e' is dropped. This is due to Australian English's unique vowel sounds and emphasis on 'r'-less pronunciations. It is important to use correct spelling and pronunciation to avoid confusing or offending locals.
