Isn't it pronounced "fa" rather than "fo"?

My siblings are really into Pho and have corrected everyone that it is pronounced like fuh.

English pronouncitation?
Is the "u" pronounced like an a (as in fuck^( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°) ) or like in 'you' or 'moon'? /j ;)

I thought it was fuh

[–] Proprietary_Blend@lemmy.world 3 points 1 month ago

It has more of a "question" inflection with a touch of soft "r".

Phurr?

I dont speak the language but I've seen "what the Pho-ck!" shirts online so maybe something in between fa and fo?

There is a pho place with that same name in my city.
