How to pronounce stuff in New Orleans

[saturn]

I think we need a thread on proper pronunciation, to help the newbies (and some of us veterans, as well).

Calliope --- Kal-ee-ope (not like the musical instrument)
Burgundy -- Berr-gun-dee (accent in the middle)
Tchoupitoulis --- Chop - i - too - lus (I think) :confused:

I stayed in a place on Pauger Street last year -- never did find out how to pronounce.

Others???

[funkkjunkie]

In tchoupitoulas, that i should have the uh sound.
Peniston-I'm sure it's just like it looks penis-ton. ;)

[funkkjunkie]

Marigny- mar-uh-knee
Chartres-Charters, i think
bayou-byo or byooo?
praline- prawleen or praleen?

[NeenAtlanta]

Chartres = charters
Conti = con-tie
Esplanade = es plun aide

[saturn]

lagniappe -- lan yap
beignet -- ben yay

[Jaypee]

Dryades = DRY - adds
(location of Handa Wanda's and home to Wild Mags)

[Orleansnj]

Trolley = street car. (ha ha - see earlier threads)

Andouille = ann -do -wee

etouffe = a - too - fay

[stlbarb]

if you keep your tongue on the bottom of your mouth, pronounce everything with 1 syllable as 2, and 2 syllables as 1, you sound semi-local.
be-rr = beer
n'awlins = new orleans

others?

[ibjamn]

I stayed in a place on Pauger Street last year -- never did find out how to pronounce.

Paw grrr

[electric_lady]

I've heard Chartres as Charters, but also as Cha-dahs, which I found very sexy.

Hey Jenn, I think you should give a class on 2nd Thursday at our hotel (Chateau LeMoyne) . It would be really fun! There are so many of us staying there that it would be a damn funny party. We will supply the dinks, of course.

Or, we say ma terry. ;)

[Amyloves...]

I've heard Chartres as Charters, but also as Cha-dahs, which I found very sexy.

YYR....we don't pronounce the letter r at the end of syllables too well. So it's like CHAW-tahs.
barber = baw-buh but
burger = bur-gah

And lostcajun and his family say we say the word 'house' funny, more like "HOWse" instead of "haus".

[pokerchick66]

lol, I used to say house like that. Don't know if I still do, though; I've been countrified.

[Amyloves...]

You can say that again.

Only the real old school yats say berl and erstah, but it cracks me up when I hear it. Actually your description is exactly what eat-mo's girlfriend Heidi said about her hometown (Rhode Island?). She said you remove r's and add them elsewhere. I think her example was "So, you're going to see your friends Linder and Petah?" TFF

[csoul]

O.k...can someone help me with this one? We're staying at the Hampton Inn on "Carondelet". How's that one pronounced?

Don't pay attention to the guy in the cooler -- he'll say anything to get out of there! ;)

[Jaypee]

Shrimp = sr-imp (no 'sh' sound)

as in srimp berl

[stlbarb]

So---- put r's in when there aren't any and take them out when they're are. Have I got that right?:confused: ;)

and sometimes you stretch the r out - not roll it like you do in gyro - but stretch it so you are on the 'r' for longer.

[glinda]

Thanks for all the tips, locals. The r thing is a challenge, gonna hafta practice that. Or dink a lot.

[ibjamn]

I've heard many people say naw lins But every time I walk into jazz fest i hear some guy telling me new or le uns. Which is correct?

nu awlins is what I say, but New Orleeeenz is ok for a song lyric! ;)

[nyc gal]

nyoo orleeyons (heard in the Garden district and northshore)
nollins (heard in my neighbors back yard)
noo orleens (my painter)
noo awleens (the lady behind the counter at Walgreens)
nawlins (every visitor arriving for the first time)
apparently, they are all correct

[pokerchick66]

I've always said new or lins.

Kinda like Ib, but I pronounce the r and she doesn't.

Nope ....

nor has anyone mentioned

file = fee lay (as in file gumbo)

Mark, I ALMOST put terlet, I swear. Don't know why I didn't, lol.

Yeah, they do that up in the New England area too (Mass, Vermont, Maine, etc.) . . . one does hate to waste those unspoken "R's, you know ;)

[nolanole]

This discussion can't be complete until we throw in the kitchen "zinc."

Also the uptown street Burthe I've heard as either "Bertha" or "Birth."

[mightyradgumbo]

I thought everybody pretty much pronounced "stuff" the same way every where...(oh I slay me) That is a word even us New Englandahs dont wreak havoc on LOL

[jailbait vagrant]

here's an easy one:

that= dat
them= dem

like "who dat think they beat dem saints?

[NeenAtlanta]

nu awlins is what I say, but New Orleeeenz is ok for a song lyric! ;)

That's what I thought new-awlins. Two syllables, not nawlins.

[VWGal]

I use New Awlins, but lately I've been entranced by the subtle addition of the second "ee" sound in Awlins, as in: Nu Aw Leeins. It's all run together so it's hard to pick out the ee sound...

My favourite thing about any pronuniciation in NOLA is the soft soft slurring of the syllabus, very sexy to a "pronounce every syllable and consonant" Canajun!

[VWGal]

That should read "soft soft slurring of the syllables". COFFEE!

[Headless Hornman]

Didn't see:

Milan: MY lan
Gen. Taylor: Genitalia

Help me with: mirliton

[Amyloves...]

I grew up saying mirliton as MEL-uh-tawn, but I do hear folks pronouncing it more like it sounds, like murlee-tawn.

[Papins]

Royal St= Roy-al street

is it: eeeeeeeeber-ville or Aye-ber-ville?

[piscesgirl]

Most people seem to say I-ber-ville with a short i sound. I have also heard Aye-ber-ville, though.

[piscesgirl]

Basically, take just about anything that starts with a "th" and change it to a "d" (i.e. these, them and those would be dese, dem and dose). Also, anything ending in "er" becomes "ah" or "uh" (i.e. sister, brother, computer becomes sistah, brothuh, computah) There are also your basic middle "r" sounds which are normally replaced by a "w" (i.e. quarter, heart, park becomes quawtah, hawt, and pawk)

Heart (aka hawt) can be used as a term of endearment by old lady Yats. Such as "Oh Hawt, you have no idea how hawd it was to find a pawking spot in Da Quawtahs when I was tryin' to go to da French Mawket da other day." (Da Quawtahs = French Quarter)

lol! That was very good, piscesgirl. :p

I say mel-uh-tawn, too.

[Amyloves...]

Oh mah Gawd dat was hilarious sistah. And spot on!

[Frosty]

Great thread. Although it is a bit elitist to think that all pronounciations aren't of equal validity. ;)

So, here is my question. Why is New Orlins in Orleeeens Parish?

[Festvet]

Clio St = C. L. 10
St Roche = St. Rock
Metairie = Metry

[breambob]

We had some folks from Valencia Spain come to work with us for a few months. When they first got here it was "Nuevo Orl-eh-on". By the time they left it was "Nuevo Awlins". TFF.

Here's another: St. Bernard Parish = Da Parish

Edited to correct my slurgid reference, which was kindly pointed out by ibjamn and others.
What was I smoking last night?
