[Haskell-cafe] anybody can tell me the pronuncation of "haskell"?

[Benjamin L. Russell]

Here in Japan, it's pronounced in four syllables with
no accent, as follows:

Hah (as in "Hah, I see.")

Sue (as in the name)

Ke (as in the first syllable of "ketchup")

Ru (as in the first syllable of "Lucas," since there
is no difference between "l" and "r" sounds in
Japanese)

Put together, it sounds as follows:

Hah-Sue-Ke-Ru

Here's the URL of the Japanese Wikipedia page for
Haskell Curry (for those who can read Japanese):
