- Adding extra syllables: Some speakers mistakenly pronounce "shiloh" with an extra syllable, as in /ˈʃaɪ.ləʊ/. This is not standard. Tip: Keep it simple with two clear syllables: /ˈʃaɪ.loʊ/.
- Confusing with similar words: Learners may confuse "shiloh" with "shilo," leading to incorrect pronunciation. Tip: Pay attention to the spelling and ensure you are pronouncing /ˈʃaɪ.loʊ/ correctly.
