The monophthong sound represented by the underlined letters 'eo' in 'leopard' is /e/.

Analyze the pronunciation of the target word 'leopard'.
The word 'leopard' is phonetically transcribed as /ˈlep.əd/.
The digraph 'eo' in 'leopard' represents an irregular spelling pattern for a short pure vowel.

The vowel sound is the short front unrounded monophthong /e/.
