The spelling of the word "schiro" is based on its pronunciation. In IPA phonetic transcription, it is written as /ʃɪroʊ/. The first sound /ʃ/ is a voiceless postalveolar fricative, which is similar to the "sh" sound in "sheep." The second sound /ɪ/ is a short vowel sound like the "i" in "hit." The third sound /r/ is an alveolar trill, which is the sound made when rolling the "r" in some languages. The last sound /oʊ/ is a diphthong, which combines the sounds of a long "o" and "u."
