“I’m very interested in Piwik, …. But, the big thing holding us back now is pronouncing the name. Can you give me guidance?”

We should have a MP3 for download “How to pronunce Piwik?”

My preference is emphasis on the first syllable with a long 'i' sound (as in pi, ).

I know that you changed your name to Matomo, but I'm still curious as to how to pronounce Piwik, and these links either lead to 404s or a page to pronounce "Matomo".

P.S. Should https://matomo.org/faq/new-to-piwik/faq_85/ be changed to https://matomo.org/faq/new-to-matomo/faq_85/ ?

Thanks!

Hi @madisonscott,

The old sound file is still available here: https://matomo.org/wp-content/uploads/piwik.mp3

And in case a brand-pronunciation-archeologist stumbles across this post in the far future, I have saved it on archive.org 🙂 :
