unlike a lot of modern "made up stuff"
the lettering of Maemo ..specifically the "ae" in it ..
is lifted from Latin.
Latin being a nice clean dead language.
everything is tidily simple.
any other language that lettering and pronunciation is lifted from I would say there is tons of leeway for however anyone wishes to pronounce it..
Latin.
Nope .
Sorry.
with Latin...
pronunciation is either correct or incorrect.
I took Latin for years..
and "ae" is Latin in origin.

I don’t think you can figure out how to pronounce it. To do that I guess you have to track down the creator. Likely a previous employer at Nokia. Likely to be native Finnish speaker...

Its origin is Latin for god's sake.
The "æ" in mæmo is a grapheme.
"æ" ...it is a twisting modern-wise... of some current and older languages..
it is originally from the Latin "AE".
It used to be pronounced and spelled far differently than currently ... as AE in Latin.
Old English changed that with "æ"
pronunciation of "æ" in the modern context of current (doggerel) languages is a short "a" ...
as in "fat" , "bat" , "at" , "cat"
So figure it out.

I’m not saying that is the case. But it could be since it’s a name.
Personally I would add some Finnish touch to it or something.

Select Finnish, and type Maemo and i think we might have the answer if we assume the Maemo naming Boss at nokia was a native finnish speaker.

first.
Sorry Dave...
If you wish to aim at the finnish inventors language who made and named the OS ...
as a logical starting point....
then..
there isn't "ae" ...in Mæmo .....it is "æ"....
HUGE spelling and pronunciation difference.
second...
still nothing has changed in pronunciation.
"æ" in finnish is spelled "ä"
and pronunciation of "ä" ..
Is STILL a short "a"...
as in "cat" , "bat" , "mat" , "flat" , etc.

It’s the e that makes it. extra e that makes the sound.

I wonder how they came up with the name meego. It doesn’t really fit Nokia branding. I would like to have some inside intel. Maybe a dinner with Ari Jaaksi.
Or do I have the rights to blame Intel for this naming debacle?
