How to pronounce stroq

stroq is most commonly pronounced "strock" (/strɑk/). This is one of several readings in active use; the developer community hasn't converged on a single answer.

Creator knocked out the obvious reading on the launch thread (q: "is it pronounced, like, stroke?" — creator: "oh no, I hadn't made that connection until now"); Kazakh Latin q = /k/, giving "strock". No official ruling; "stroke" is still the widespread default reading.

Alternate readings you might hear:

• "stroke" /stroʊk/

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.
