How to pronounce liskov

person community-consensus

liss kov /ˈlɪskɒv/ mp3

liskov is most commonly pronounced "liss kov" (/ˈlɪskɒv/). This is the widely-used reading among engineers, though edge cases exist.

Barbara Liskov (Liskov Substitution Principle).

Pronouncing project and product names correctly avoids the small but persistent friction of being gently corrected during standups, conference Q&As, and team calls. Hearing the word a few times locks in the right reading better than reading IPA ever will. Pronounce is a community-maintained dictionary — every entry tagged with a confidence level and (where possible) a citable source.

Hear it from the command line

$ say-it liskov # primary × 3 + audible "or: …" for each alternate
$ say-it --why liskov # print the dict entry with source URL

Install the CLI: git clone https://github.com/anzy-renlab-ai/pronounce.git && cd pronounce && ./install.sh
