Pi is the 16th letter of the Greek alphabet
Greek.
pi is pi in any language. In Germany, pi is pronounced 'pee'.
greek
The symbol for pi (π) comes from the Greek language. It is derived from the Greek word "periphery," which relates to the circumference of a circle. The use of π to represent the ratio of a circle's circumference to its diameter was popularized by the mathematician Leonhard Euler in the 18th century.

Pi is in the German language also "die Kreiszahl".
To change the language on a Raspberry Pi, open a terminal and run 'sudo raspi-config', then navigate to 'Localisation Options' and choose 'Change Locale'. Select your desired language and keyboard layout, then reboot your Raspberry Pi for the changes to take effect.
'pi' is the lower case letter 'p' from the Classical Greek Alphabet. It refers to 'proportion, because for all circles, however, large of small , the constant of proportion (p/pi) between the circumference and the diameter is 3.141592.... , which is an irrational number, which means it cannot be converted to a ratio/fraction. Casually, the decimals recur to infinity and there is no regular order in the decimal digits. Algebraically, Circumference is directly proportional to diameter. Reduced to letters C is directly proportional to d. This is then equated with a constant(k) C = k*d k = C/d From ancient times the 'k' was substituted by 'pi/p' as it refers to 'proportion'. Hence we have pi = C/d or C = pi*d 'd' being the length of two(2) radii is substitutied again as C = 2pir In school/college, when learning about circle geometry, you will probably be given pi = 3.14, 3.1416 or 22/7 . These figures are only APPROXIMATIONS, but are given for ease of learning.
The symbol of pi is 16th letter of the Greek alphabet and it was chosen because the first letter of the equivalent of the word perimeter begins with pi in the Greek language.
