How Do You Spell NYON?
"Nyon" is a small town located in western Switzerland, pronounced /n(j)ɔ̃/. The reason why the spelling might seem unfamiliar to some is due to the use of the nasal vowel sound "ɔ̃", which is not present in English. This sound is produced by rounding the lips and lowering the jaw while simultaneously letting air flow through the nose. The letter "y" in "nyon" represents the French "y" sound, a combination of "ee" and "oo". Thus, the spelling of "nyon" accurately reflects its unique pronunciation in the French language.
