How Do You Spell ZAILOR?
Pronunciation: [zˈe͡ɪlə] (IPA) 
The word "Zailor" may seem unusual, but its spelling reflects its pronunciation. In IPA phonetic transcription, the word would be written as /zəɪlər/. The initial "z" sound represents the consonant cluster "z-" followed by the vowel sound "əɪ" which is pronounced like "ay". The second syllable ends with a schwa sound represented by the "ə" symbol, followed by the "l" sound and finally the vowel sound "ər". So despite its unconventional spelling, "Zailor" accurately reflects its unique pronunciation.
