product community-consensus

tah lahs /ˈtɑːlɑːs/ mp3

Taalas is most commonly pronounced "tah lahs" (/ˈtɑːlɑːs/). This is the widely-used reading among engineers, though edge cases exist.

Name derives from Hindi taalaa/taalasaaz ('lock'/'locksmith'), hence stressed long ah vowels, not 'TAY-las'.

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.
