How Do You Spell DIETERICH?

Pronunciation: [dˈa͡ɪ͡ətəɹˌɪt͡ʃ] (IPA)

The spelling of the word "Dieterich" can be a bit tricky due to the presence of two consonants that are not pronounced in its regular representation. IPA phonetic transcription shows that the initial letter "D" is pronounced as the voiced dental stop /d/. The letter combination "ie" in the middle is pronounced as a long /i:/ vowel sound. The letters "t" and "r" are both silent, while the ending "ich" is pronounced as the voiceless palatal stop /ç/. So, the correct IPA spelling of "Dieterich" would be /ˈdaɪtɛrɪk/.
