The word "sojo" is a relatively uncommon term that refers to a type of traditional Korean drink made from fermented grains. The spelling of this word can be explained using IPA phonetic transcription, which reveals that it is pronounced as [ˈsodʒoʊ]. The initial "s" is pronounced as an unvoiced alveolar fricative, followed by a voiced postalveolar affricate "dʒ" sound. The final "o" is pronounced as a long "o" sound. This unique spelling of "sojo" reflects the Korean pronunciation of the word.
