Proper name

IPA: /səʊl/ [Received-Pronunciation], /soʊl/ [General-American] Audio: En-us-sole.ogg [General-American]
enPR: sōl Rhymes: -əʊl Etymology: From Korean 서울 (Seoul, literally “capital city”), originally from Claude-Charles Dallet's French-based romanization of Korean, reinforced by the 1959 South Korean Ministry of Education romanization of Korean, which transcribed the Korean vowel ㅓ (/⁠ʌ⁠/) with the digraph "eo" and which was official until 1984. Note that English Seoul predates the Revised Romanization romanization of Seoul. The two romanization systems simply produce identical forms.
