    Ay Yew Arr

    ...but if they renamed it Arch Interactive User Repository or Arch Internet User Repository, I have no problem switching to pronouncing it "eye-urr"

    I pronounce it AUR btw.

    (In all seriousness I pronounce it like Aura without the 2nd A)

    A U R. It rolls off the tongue pretty easily.

    coming from a language with consistent pronunciation I pronounce it "aur" like other comments said, like "aurum" or like in Portuguese - how it is written)

    In English, Ey-You-Arr.

    In Swedish, diphtonged Aw-ur, pretty similar to Our but with a more pronounced aaah sound. A-U-R would be two glottoal stops (Ahh-Uuh-Err) and is pretty uncomfortable to pronounce in Swedish.

    I have not been initiated into any of this. I'd pronounce it like "aura" without the a, and a longer R

    Definitely not like OUR (in the sense of owning from community perspective). No seriously, I pronounce it like most do and say each letter on their own like a pirate.

    In Dutch, au is a fixed diphthong that's part of many of our normal words. /ʌu/... approximately. So that's how I pronounce it... in my head. I don't think I've ever really had reason to say it out loud.
