Correct Texas pronunciation of various towns?

[MTA]

Genuinely curious as I grew up in Louisiana and we would say Cad-oh as in Caddo Parish.



Pronounce Milano

its pronounced the same way, cad-oh

We'll have to defer to our Louisiana friends for the correct pronunciation.

They can't pronounce that creole they speak, so I'll not defer to them.
(Several of my in-laws are native French speakers and have stated that Hatian Creole is closer to French than whatever Louisianans speak. There's a reason 'coonass' is an insult, but none of them know what it means!)

And nyc goofs pronounce Houston as: How-stun

Houston Street in Manhattan is 'How-stun' - it's misspelled! It's named after Willian Houstoun, one of the Founding Fathers.

Best place name I've ever encountered was the village of Drumnadrochit, Scotland on the shore of Loch Ness. "Drum-na-drock-it". Just like it's spelled LOL
