| I say it "bool - een", but I've heard some people call it "bool - ee - an". Which is correct? |

Well, in my head, (since I don't know anyone outside of roblox who I can converse with about Lua) I pronounce it "bool - ee - an".
BUT
That's just me. |

Well in Google Translator it gets pronounced as "bool-een" but I pronounce it as "bool-ee-an".

| What language does it derive from if you pronounce is "bool-ee-an", when "ea" in English is pronounced as "ee"? |

It's someone's (George Boole's) name, which is pronounced "Bool". So it's of or relating to the work of Bool, thus ends in the sound "ian" |

His name was "Boole" The "an" is just like the suffix of American.
It's not "bool ean" |

Well, when you're speaking English, pronounce it /ˈbo͞olēən/, and when you're speaking another language, pronounces it as they do.
(also, the spelling is "language" and "pronounces") |

| If I'm alone, I pronounce it like "buhl" in the sort of "accent" of a man of African descent who has grown up in the southern reaches of the United States. |

| I use to pronounce it bool-een, but my math teacher started talking about Boolean math, and I learned how to correct pronounce it. |

I pronounce it "bool-een". I don't really care if that isn't how it is meant to be pronounced.

| I just leave it at Bool. Much simpler that way. |
