How do you pronounce "Lua"?
Pages: 12
Is it LOO-ah?
(I want to start learning Lua, but I want to make sure I'm saying it right first.)

Thats how I say it atleast. LOOOOOOOOOaaaaaaah
Edit: And google translate seems to agree. Google translate it never wrong.

Loo-uh, with the same emphasis on both syllables. Just like SQL is sequel.

Does it sound the same as in video I posted? http://www.pronouncenames.com/pronounce/lua
Yes (aside from the thick accent), but Lua isn't a word from any particular spoken language - it's the name of a programming language and so has its own separate pronunciation.

Actually. On the Lua Programming Language wikipedia. It states that Lua is infact a word from a spoken language, in this case Portuguese. Lua means moon. Lua was designed by Roberto Ierusalimschy.
He's from Brazil. And they more or less speak Portuguese, which is why it was named Lua I assume.

And apparently. It is pronnounced like this -

double O, just like in blood, flood, food, hood, rook, wool
> Just like SQL is sequel.
¿SIkuol? ¿no eskiuel?
> Loo-uh sounds nasty and stale compared to loo-ah
>> In my region there is no audible difference between Loo-uh and loo-ah.

by hearing:
blod, flod, rok
fud, xud
uool
by the written phoneme:
blood, flood
hood, rook, wool
food
It was a joke/rant
> E.g. blood is bluh'd
that tells me nothing, I have no idea how do you pronounce bluh'd (and it is harder to search)
(my pronunciation is written using lojban)

For the past minute and a half I've been trying to figure out how food and wool could have the same oo sound...

Not to bug you about pronunciation, or to hijack this thread, but how do you pronounce food if it sounds similar to wool? Wuul/Wuhl doesn't sound very different from what I guess would be wOOl in my accent? I pronounce food like foo-d by the way.
As for Lua, I pronounce it like "loo-uh" which sounds pretty dull in comparison to "loo-ah"
"loo-ah!" seems like a breath of fresh air. I love it.
