= How should I pronounce "Xapian"? =

We don't really have an "official" pronunciation, but we usually pronounce it like the English word ''"zap"'' - so ''"Zap-ian"''.

''"Zay-pian"'' is a popular variant, and arguably closer to the origin of the name (it's a mangling of the English ''"sapient"''
or the Latin ''"sapiens"'').
