Better than those who pronounce the s, 2bh.
>Better than those who pronounce the s
wait, some people seriously do this?
you're right, that's even worse
Daily leaf obsessing over America thread?
literally how do you pronounce them then you autist
Mostly Southerners, unsurprisingly.
We also pronounce Quebec as "Kebeck", although some say "Kwebeck".
>We also pronounce Quebec as "Kebeck"
That's actually (almost) the correct pronounciation
>although some say "Kwebeck"
Not surprised, many anglos in Canada do this as well
I could record them if you really want, but my microphone is shit, you're better off just looking them up on forvo.com
>you pronounce Nunavit > none of it
cause we aint havin nunavit
>Americans pronounce american places with an american accent
whoa...
Why does Des Moines look like such a comfy place to live?
Nigger population makes you feel at home
they all sound really comfy tbqh
it does indeed seem to look better than most American cities, I too wonder why this is the case
Atleast we don't have fwench r's
According to Wiki, in 2010 it was "only" 10.2% African American, and it was 76.4% White (70.5% Non-Hispanic White). While this is still somewhat low, it's much better than the average American city.
I have a basic understanding of French but these could all be wrong desu
>Kaybecker discovers other languages exist
Wait til you find out about the Eskimos and Injuns who used to live where you live now.
Fix your proxy bro
good job lad, the only one you got wrong was "Des Moines", which you sort of pronounced as "Des Moin"
Also the "éan" in Nouvelle-Orléans was slightly off, but it's no big deal.
I thought the es was silent, what's the proper prononciation?
In New Orleans they pronounce it "new or-lee-anz"
Not a proxy
My bad for assuming every city in the US with a French name has been stormed by jigaboos
Depends. About 50%-50%
The s is silent, but the 'e' means that you should pronounce the 'n', rather than turn it into an "oin" digraph. However, if there was no 'e', then your pronounciation would have been correct (it would have made the word "moins", which means "less")
I'm just happy that my stat's capital is referenced for once.
It's nestled well into the Prairie. All of Iowa looks comfy, 2bh.
We also pronounce St. Louis "Saint Lewis", though we pronounce Louisville as "Loo uh ville"
You should say La Nouvelle-Orléans
We dont go around talking about NYC as "la cité du nouveau york hon hon hon "
Autism
Why would we do that? How autistic are you
New Orleans isn't a Canadian city you fucking retard
thanks m8, I've been trying to learn how to speak French better
Heyyyy thats pretty good
I think you guys do, actually.
I say Illinois with the s as sort of a joke because it makes some people mad
It's a canadian. Nothing new here.
It does irritate Illini, 2bh.
I wonder if the Dutch still call it New Amsterdam.
God MOAR plz read something else in french your voice and accent gives me intense pleasure
Yeah we speak English here, not French. We don't give a single fuck about your French faggot Quebec accent. Montreal should be nuked from orbit.
Any American who pronounces those words as they would be said in French is a gigantic douche yurofag who everyone would laugh at.
>I don't say New Orleans like this
the only thing worse than a fucking leaf is a frog fucking leaf
Looks like this thread is another win for America!!
NAWWWLEANSSSSS DOWN BY DEEESURE BUYUUUUUUUUO
You realize New Orleenz is in the United States of America, right? If you wanted people to say the name """"""correctly"""""" then Napoleon shouldn't have sold the land to us like a dumbass.
But HOW do you know who is who ;)
CLEANED A LOT OF PLATES IN MEMPHIS
PUMPED A LOT OF 'PANE DOWN IN NEW ORLEANS
A leaf who cares about French shit is a frog leaf
Maybe you should've held on to it if you wanted to control how it's fucking pronounced you french speaking frogposter.
Give me something to read and I will, the French Wikipedia page has too many numbers
I went to a hot dog place in Leeds with American-themed hot dogs. I ordered one called the "Utah" and the worker pronounced it "Ow-tah" and I felt really bad.
>I felt really bad about it
>American flag
this is how I know you are lying
Ow
Not really, we take our pronunciations somewhat seriously.
I dunno, I felt really awkward and bad about it. I felt like a walking stereotype, and I know I involuntarily got a bit of a weird look on my face when he pronounced it that way and I'm still a little worried that I hurt his feelings. I should have apologized.
Mobil instead of mobile.
>Quebeckers going off on a tangent about their faggy language again
Sorry you guys had too see this.
How little is going on in your life that you take incorrect pronunciations as an offense.
>mfw Amerishits pronounce "Des Moines" as "duh moyn"
You forgot a city 300 miles east of it, Des Plaines, is pronounced 'des playns'
No it's dis plains
t. live near there
Why didn't you just kill them off like you killed off the First Nations?
I mean fuck, you let yourself get just as cucked by frogs as the Brits did in 1066.

you can have St. Louis, Detroit, and New Orleans back.
That's how you pronounce them correctly, kiddo.
New Orleans is an extremely important port moron
Cue-beck
>faggy language
You've 3 minutes to delet your post.

Shipping operations shall henceforth be conducted through Galveston.
You're completely missing the point of why New Orleans is so important
Look at a fucking map
French is fucked
New Orleansonite detected
No, I'm in the Midwest and my family's farm would be fucked without New Orleans
the Port of South Louisiana carries 60% of the US grain exports. we load everything up here and it goes down the Mississippi to the New Orleans area for export. the Mississippi River is extremely important for the economic well being of a good chunk of Americans and that makes New Orleans and its surroundings very important
>Muh grain muh voodoo
New Orleansion pls
Was that island in the Caribbean you traded for the Louisiana Purchase worth it, Pierre?

it's a comfy looking place to live but I ain't from there
We're probably even worse with Spanish names, tbqh
Seriously though I wanna go there one day
There's a region of Oregon called French Prairie. It was originally settled by French Canadians and French-speaking Metis.
A town in this region is named Gervais. Its pronounced Jervis.

How the hell else could 'Maine' be pronounced? It's a former county of France held by the Angevins and afaik it has always been 'Mayne'
As for Illinois, that's a Native American word with a Gallicized ending, so it's a bit silly to split hairs over that
I thought it's New ÓR-linz
your voice is soulless and dead
I'm coming for you
is it true that new orleans is pronounced nawlins
