Oh wow, they have an audio sample and everything! Looks like it's "for jeo" (pronounced like "Mateo")

Aka, pretend it's Spanish, since it's a word from pretend Spanish (specifically Esperanto, not Portuguese)

J has an H sound in Spanish, not a Y sound.

Wasn't Esperanto made by a Polish dude?

No idea. Also, my comment is mostly a joke

I feel like if you need an audio sample to get people to pronounce your name correctly, you should just name it something else....

I enjoy how there's the correct answer, and then there's the other answers in this thread. 🙃

It’s pronounced like the Esperanto word it’s based on, forĝejo similar to English forge.

Never knew about Esperanto, but that was fun to learn about.

It can still be pretty Euro-centric but it’s awesome to be able to communicate with people from any number of countries at the same time.

Lojban is so much easier to speak than Esperanto! We actually recently talked in #lojban on Libera about how to pronounce the word in question and our answer is something like {fordzeiio} if one likes the slinkuui semantics or {fordzei'o} otherwise.

I keep reading it as "four-gee-joe", but I'm pretty sure that is not the right pronounciation.

Wiz 7 points 3 months ago

As a speaker of Esperanto, I believe they used the Esperanto for the noun "forge" which is spelled 'forĝejo' with a facy-pants g-circumflex.

In Esperanto, the G with a hat is pronounced like the soft G in forge. The J is pronounced like the letter Y, like in the English word fjord.

So, I don't know if the makers of the tool intended the Esperanto pronunciation to be used. But if it is, the pronunciation would be like forge-AY-o.

Thanks. It's the only swipe enabled keyboard I've found for my degoogled phone. They have their own F-Droid repo as well
