Linux Pronunciation
Abstract
There has been much debate over the pronunciation of 'Linux', with three major alternatives emerging.
Note: you need a font containing IPA characters for this page to be displayed correctly.
/liːnuːks/ ('leenooks')
This is Linus Torvalds' original pronunciation, based on the pronunciation of his name in Swedish. It's rarely used by those who speak English as a first language, as it doesn't seem very 'natural' to them.
/lɪnʌks/ ('linnuks')
This is now Linus Torvalds' preferred pronunciation, as he considers /ɪ/ closer to the original /iː/ than /aɪ/. It also follows the pronunciation of the English word 'linen'.
/laɪnʌks/ ('lynuks')
The other major alternative is based on the pronunciation of the English version of 'Linus'. It also happens to be the version I use. |
