Pronunciation

Having lived there, it really depends on which part of Louisiana (and New Orleans) you are in on how it is pronouced. Funny one though, as most people do tend to overlook the fact the Baton Rouge is the capitol.

Good point. They do talk funny up in the "Yankee parishes" of Northern Louisiana! :mrgreen:

One more point about Nawleans accents: my father-in-law, also a native of the "Big Easy", is often confused for a New York or Boston resident with his gravely Nawleans accent.
