Recommend adding phonetic pronunciation to the README. In practical terms, being uncertain as to the correct pronunciation is an adoption hurdle.

If it’s like a Japanese word, pronounced “Sheeo Hara” without space. Literal meaning would be “salt flats” but this pronunciation implies a surname (like “McNamara” do)
Hair-uh or harr-uh or -ah?
harr-ah. With short As, and a somewhat Spanish R.
that is right! :-)
Hi, Thanks! I will add the correct pronunciation: Sheeoo Hara in README.md
Anglophones read "oo" as /u:/.
Thanks for the correction
