<h2>How To Pronounce GNU</h2>
<p>The name “GNU” is a recursive acronym for “GNU's Not
Unix!”; it is pronounced as one syllable with a hard <i>g</i>, like
“grew” but with the letter <i>n</i> instead of
<i>r</i>.</p>
<p>
This is a recording of <a href="https://www.stallman.org/">Richard Stallman</a>
saying “GNU” and another with a short explanation about how GNU
was named:

<p>The combination of <a href="/gnu/linux-and-gnu.html">GNU and
Linux</a> is the <strong>GNU/Linux operating system</strong>, now used
by millions and sometimes incorrectly called simply
“Linux.”</p>
