Is Nokia marketing reading this thread? ;) They should be!

I'm Canadian, so I say "My Eh? Moe". ;)

Well, I try to say it that way. I keep saying May Moe, then correcting myself.

What? You decided in the summit against the Spanish pronunciation of Maemo? :eek:

Dealbreaker! I'm not buying the N900 now. :D

I prefer to pronounce it In French, more specifically French Canadian.

"Mémo"

Similar to may-mo, but without the "a" part.

Since it's all open source anyway, I can pronounce it any way I want! :D

mah as the beginning of my

mo as in Monica, but only pronouncing the M and the O.

Hope you like it.
I'm Ukrainian and we have the same pronunciation as you described.
In addition we have Ukrainian word maemo, which translates as we have ... ;)

Those who have studied latin at school know that "ae" has to be read "e", so:

Maemo --> Mémo

The fact that in Maemo's symbols the "a" and the "e" are always linked together leads me to that reading.

And that is definitely the correct one :)

Yes, except the word isn't Latin and made-up words can't really have "correct" pronunciation. :)

I pronouce it as 'mee-mo'

the 'mae' in 'maemo' should sound smiliar to 'tea' which is 'eee'
