How to Pronounce Drupal

Posted by grendel on November 14, 2004 at 9:32am

This may sound like a stupid question, but I have not seen this covered. I was having a conversation w/ someone, and they pronounce Drupal very differently then I do. I emphasize the Dru, he emphasizes the pal, which way is it?

Drupal or Drupal?

In Dutch/Flemish the original word 'druppel' has stress on the 'drup' syllable; so, I guess, drupal is the proper pronunciation. Anyhow, that's how I say it.

see the Drupal handbook

Where does the name 'Drupal' come from?

The real way to say it...

Is with a short dutch 'u' (French 'rue', German 'Frühstück') and stress on the first syllable. But of course, there's no easy way to transliterate that into English, so we won't kill you if you say droo-pahl instead.
