Introducing Our New Name | Minetest rebrands to Luanti
After more than a year of public and internal discussions, we're ready to announce our new name!
You're viewing a single thread.
How are you guys pronouncing this?
Personally, I’ve found it sounds kind of nice when said like “Loon tea”.
It's finnish, so like it's written. Foreign concept for english speakers, I know.
It is quite literally a foreign concept to anyone who only speaks English. That's how foreign languages work.
How is the word pronounced though?
I'm a finn, so the only advice I can give is that it's pronounced like luanti in finnish.
Not very useful, I know, sorry. Nau ai häv tu kou präktis mai rälli inglish.
It just looks like "Loo wan tee" to me.
Edit: Actually, just read the article, and considering the name Luanti is a mix between the Finnish word "creation" and the LUA programming language; and I'm preeetty sure LUA is pronounced "loo-wah" or "lew-ah", I think the Luanti pronunciation is more likely to be "loo-wun-tee".
The german way
Luh-Anti?
That's pretty much how it sounded in my lingual mind.
Except Loo (Lew) instead of Luh Lu-Auntie.
To go with your Lu-Vati & Lu-Mudder
A luna familia
Loo-wun-tee?
Lmao loo nah tee, like illuminati :D
