Pronunciation & Spelling
In borderland the stress is on the first syllable (/ˈbɒːdəlænd/), so none of these is a true rhyme. Land and wasteland share the final /lænd/ sound; mainland and highland end in -land but are usually pronounced with a reduced vowel /lənd/. Border and boarder are homophones and look like the first part of borderland, but they lack the final /lænd/.
