How are you guys pronouncing this?

Personally, I’ve found it sounds kind of nice when said like “Loon tea”.

It just looks like "Loo wan tee" to me.

Edit: Actually, just read the article, and considering the name Luanti is a mix between the Finnish word "creation" and the LUA programming language; and I'm preeetty sure LUA is pronounced "loo-wah" or "lew-ah", I think the Luanti pronunciation is more likely to be "loo-wun-tee".

It's finnish, so like it's written. Foreign concept for english speakers, I know.

It is quite literally a foreign concept to anyone who only speaks English. That's how foreign languages work.

How is the word pronounced though?

I'm a finn, so the only advice I can give is that it's pronounced like luanti in finnish.

Not very useful, I know, sorry. Nau ai häv tu kou präktis mai rälli inglish.
