Most of the villes I know about in TN are vuhl like Nashville, Fayetteville, Knoxville, Milledgeville, Masseyville, Goodletsville, Shelbyville, Cookeville, Louisville, Maryville... Are there any towns in TN pronounced vil, without purposely trying to say it that way? Just curious, if there are any out there...
I say it somewhere in between, LA Fall lit.. Love the "curvull".. like murvull.. and how about Jacks borrow? Btw when did Lake City turn into Vol land?
In the late 80s when there was a lot of flooding in NW Tennessee, Bobbie Batista of CNN pronounced it "O-bee-on". That's when I started questioning the credibility of reporters. If you report the news,a cardinal rule is to pronounce place names like the locals do.
The story was that a farm boy would tie his Ma's cow to a post where the town of Moscow grew up so it's pronounced "Ma's Cow". They'll fight you on it.
Moscow Tennesee .... I'm from Mississippi where we have an alien worm hole so we can have Moscow, Edinburgh, and Sebastopol within ten miles of each other. I know about the Scots immigrating but where did all the Russkies come from.
I once knew a lady from New Jersey. I lived in Knoxville at the time but am from Chattanooga. Anyway, she called me from Decatur, Georgia, needing me to come get her. Long story. (BTW, this was WAY before smartphones and maybe before MapQuest - not sure.) When I asked her where she was, she said, “DEK-a-tur.” I made her say it over and over again, and I was so annoyed with myself because I was super familiar with North Georgia. How had I not heard of this place? I finally made her spell it. “Oh, De-CAY-tur,” I said, laughing.
There are many towns in the US named Decatur not sure how they are all pronounced.....the Indiana one is a "De-KAY-ter"......never heard of a DEK-a-tur! Ha HA!!
A guy from a state with towns like Sylacauga & Opileika is making fun of Tennessee towns? In my Bugs Bunny Southern congressman voice, "Of course,you *do* realize that this means woah!"
The locals pronounce it more like “horn-wald”, but my family from that area call it Hole-in-the-Wall :-) FYI, Hohenwald is home to an elephant sanctuary for rescues from circuses, failed zoos, etc.
As a toddler, one of my nieces had a stuffed bunny & she'd do its voice to have conversations with people. One one trip to Nashville, Bunny decided that the exit sign read "Buttsnort" & kept saying it until my sister told the long eared galoot that she was going to punish my nieceling for what the bunny was doing. The next 40 miles into town were very quiet in the backseat.
Jeff DeWitt the first time I saw that Bucksnort sign on I-40, I laughed so hard. I new it had to be real, after all, it was on a green interstate sign.
@@leert2698 Years ago I stopped near there for gas and asked about the name of the place. According to the local there used to be a moonshiner in the area named Buck, and people would talk about going to Buck's and getting a snort. Makes about as much sense as anything!
When I took a language course in the Navy, the instructor was amused by my speaking Russian with a Tennessee accent. I never could get that cultured Leningrad accent that they wanted.
Sorry but no on these.....it's: Merval...Maryville Mosym.....Mosheim(no H) LaFOLLette...LaFOLLette(emphasis is on FOLL) and my hometown....Marshtown....or Morristown as it's spelled.
Eddie Huff dont forget: Lafayette: laFAYit Versailles: verSAILS Santa Fe: sanna FEE Shelbyville: SHEBEEvul And my all time favorite: Franklin: Franklin Yup... Middle Tennessee here
I live next door to Tullahoma. Been to Lascassas and La Follette. Lol. Didn't know a couple of those though. Should have thrown in Decherd (dek-erd). That one usually confuses people.
Honestly, the way we do it in Tennessee is just pronounce it how it looks. Nothing fancy. Idk why that one guy kept trying to say it in an Italian/ French accent. Think of the un-fancy way to say it and that's it. lol
In the early 90s,we had some serious flooding in NW Tennessee & I wrote a scathing letter to CNN about their anchors mispronouncing Obion as "Oh-Bee-On" when anyone can clearly see that it's said "Oh-Bye-On".
I stand behind "Lay-Foh-Latte". Pretty sure that was in a Sound of Music song, produced by Mr. Starbucks. And that's how the town got its name. Yeah. 🤔
Nope the founders last name was lafollette but indeed he pronounced it differently then how we locals say it now. 100 years ago it was how you think it should sound. With time away from the lafollette movings and passing away it's morphed into la-fall-it that's how the locals say it so even the video was a little off. Just say lafallit as one word.
When dude said “ville” in the south is pronounced as “vul” it’s so accurate lol I say “nashvul” “knoxvul” “maryvul” and for some reason a lot of us in Tennessee drops the “y” in Maryville.😂💀
My wife and I drove from Columbia, SC over the Great Smokey Mtns, to Pidgeon Forge, Knoxville, Nashville, & Chattanooga through Tennessee. We were so impressed with the beauty of this state. We will return for more. But I was hoping to actually learn something from this video, like maybe the pronunciation of bigger cities, but I was sorely disappointed. Bless your hearts. BTW: my aunt’s family used to live on a farm near Moscow, Idaho -I think it was pronounced similarly. No Soviets there either.
Born and raised in TN and I aced the test :) it helps that my dad takes nursery stock to just about everywhere across the state so I’m familiar with a lot of town names lol Loved the video! As always!
Have ya done one for Georgia town names? Sooo much gold to mine in there. Alapaha Raybon Gardi Jesup Ludowici Vidalia McDonough Dacula and can't forget Albany
Okay, so some names are pronounced differently depending on where you go and who you talk to. Lebanon is a good example. It looks like it should be pronounced LE-bu-non. One person will pronounce it LEB-num, another will pronounce it LEB-a-nun an another will pronounce it LEB-nun.🤷♀️
I am OFFENDED that Elizabethton was no included in your list of mispronounced TN town names. Seriously, people get Shake Rag and Bucksnort right, why not a metropolis like Elizabethton? For goodness' sake, we have a Wal Mart!
I enjoyed this video very much. But I have to say the young man's comment about the Volunteer state/ learn to spell correctly is disrespectful. I'm both a native of Tennessee and a volunteer veteran of the U.S. Army. I know every one has the right to their opinion. But momma always said if you can't say anything nice then don't say anything. Ya'll know better.
danielle my parents drove through upstate New York years ago and said it was some of the prettiest countryside they had ever seen. You got me with “ you guys “. You definitely gave yourself away with that. Haha. Have a good day and stay safe.
@@Revgal Yep. That's how everyone around here pronounces it. When I was little I couldn't understand why Reagan was pronounced ree-gan. All my mom would say was that's just how it is. lol
It’s hilarious that in the middle of the video, I thought: ‘Obion, TN should be on this list. Everyone I know pronounces it differently.’ And sure enough, not only was it on the list, but I was pronouncing it correctly the entire time!
Spent a couple of years in MI, I would like to hear them say Ypsilanti :D or NH region (also spent a couple years there,) Monadnock. Everyone just laughed at me when I tried these too.
@@Revgal Oh yeah, Ypsi is a good one! Some others that seem to give ppl trouble (IMO) are Au Sable, Dowagiac, Sault Ste. Marie, Hamtramck, Charlevoix, and even Macomb, Novi, and Livonia, which I hear mispronounced all the time.
I mean I say Maryville...not vul...and onion wasn't said quite right but close. I'm from. Obion originally. Several were not as right as y'all thought tbh.
Me: from IL and says them all right. Lived in TN for 10 years and struggled to follow directions to... anywhere. Trick: put marbles in your mouth and cotton in your ears and forget everything you ever knew about phonics.
The rule that he said about “ville” being pronounced vul in the south is definitely applicable in Tennessee
Not in Clarksville. Unless you have a really thick accent
Except Nashville, Clarksville, Hendersonville...all exceptions to the rule.
Clay Cassin idk man I still say nashvul. Probably the knoxvul in me😂
@Ojibwa62 x Yes! So true
That rule is very true in Mississippi. Greenville (Greenvul), Woodville (Woodvul), Centerville (Cenervul). And I'm sure there's more
Me: *lives in Tennessee.*
Me: *doesn’t know half the word vomit thrown on the screen.*
You are not smart enough to live in Georgia stay away of Georgia you are not good enough sorry
Can you learn to talk it is not an option for tennesse and you cannot stay in our country Georgia is greatest
@@shannonelam454 We don't want to her your opinion unless its on how to cook barbecue the wrong way.
Same!!! I only got a few
I'm a northerner and moved to Tennessee. I can relate a lot. This was helpful LOLLLL
Yep is is “murhvul “ Tennessee. I live in the next town. “Lewisville” but spelled Louisville. Love those Tennessee names.
I'm from Knoxville and some people do call it "Knoxvull," but it's more subtle.
Most of the villes I know about in TN are vuhl like Nashville, Fayetteville, Knoxville, Milledgeville, Masseyville, Goodletsville, Shelbyville, Cookeville, Louisville, Maryville... Are there any towns in TN pronounced vil, without purposely trying to say it that way? Just curious, if there are any out there...
Born and raised in Maryville and to this day pronounce it Mare-vul. Never ever ever Murvuhl. I guess it's different according to who you ask. 🤷♀️
Vonore (va-noor) or even Etowah (ed-o-wa). Lots of people mistaken Etowah for "ed-a-wuh". You gotta love Tennessee names
@@Revgal - you forgot Caryville! Pronounced (care-vul) or (care-a-vul) or (care-a-ville) as WBIR pronounces it. 😂
I'm actually from Lafollette...and we can always tell telemarketers and visitors just by How they pronounce it LOL
I'm from curvull lol best way to teach ppl how to say lafollette has been this la-fall-it say that fast and that's how we say it in Campbell county
Grew up in Knoxville and we always said La-fa-let.
Im from Wisconsin and went to a lafollette high school so that seemed easy to me.
I say it somewhere in between, LA Fall lit..
Love the "curvull".. like murvull.. and how about Jacks borrow? Btw when did Lake City turn into Vol land?
@@flagger2020 they changed it several years ago. But for us "Rocky top, you'll always be Lake City to me!" 😂😂
Dude. Tullahoma literally is pronounce how its spelled. C'mon, People. I'm scared to know how they'd butcher Sewanee.
not everybody is from tennessee and knows how to pronounce nonsensical gibberish.
@@mannemarco333 looooool. Damn, shots were fired😂.
Im from England, so all of these words are just letters put together
I know right!
Awesome Nabilah nahhhhh I ain’t allowing someone from a country with a town called “Brown Willy” to say anything about my state
[Say-one-knee]?
How did they not get “Obion”. That’s so easy. I mean yes I grew up not far from there. But come on!
That's what i was thinking. I was yelling at the screen. "It's Obion!"
Cause we’re not all from Tennessee. How do you pronounce these cities in Washington? Sequim and Puyallup.
In the late 80s when there was a lot of flooding in NW Tennessee, Bobbie Batista of CNN pronounced it "O-bee-on".
That's when I started questioning the credibility of reporters.

They'll fight you on it.
Kinda like how people from Lafayette call it "Luh- Fay- Yet" even though it's named after La Fayette. If you say it right you're wrong.
@@marcspade_pipes Yes! I cringe everytime people don't say luh-fay-it. Or La-Fee-Et if you're talking about the Louisiana city. Don't mix them up!
Moscow Tennesee .... I'm from Mississippi where we have an alien worm hole so we can have Moscow, Edinburgh, and Sebastopol within ten miles of each other. I know about the Scots immigrating but where did all the Russkies come from.
How do you get Tullahoma wrong 🧐
It happens more than you think lol
Exactly, I literally went there yesterday, it’s like saying Beersheba springs wrong, it’s pernounces burshuba springs
Wecome to the three great states of Tennessee, East, Middle and West. Each part is totally different from the other.😷
So true live in East Tennessee lived in middle Tn, you can definitely tell who’s from where. Those 3 stars, each with their own personalities
It's also different when you're talking northern and southern Tennesse. I'm from Chattanooga, and the Tri-state area has a distinctive accent.
@@bonnecherie you sure are right

I'm in Tennessee and I can't even pronounce half of the towns in Tennessee I love y'alls videos they're awesome ❤

I can always tell when someone is new to Chattanooga because they pronounce it 'chatt-anooga'. It's chatta-nooga
@@Revgal there is also a Decatur, TN. It's north of Cleveland.
There are many towns in the US named Decatur not sure how they are all pronounced.....the Indiana one is a "De-KAY-ter"......never heard of a DEK-a-tur! Ha HA!!
B Me neither. Decatur, Georgia, is pronounced the same way as that town in Indiana. 😄
A guy from a state with towns like Sylacauga & Opileika is making fun of Tennessee towns?
In my Bugs Bunny Southern congressman voice, "Of course,you *do* realize that this means woah!"
"West Virginia you know who you are". Almost blew milk out of my nose when he said that
One of my favorites is Hohenwald, Tennessee. Just east of Jackson, it’s pronounced “ho-win-wald”. Accent on the first syllable. Love your show.
The locals pronounce it more like “horn-wald”, but my family from that area call it Hole-in-the-Wall :-) FYI, Hohenwald is home to an elephant sanctuary for rescues from circuses, failed zoos, etc.
That's just down the road from me. I can pronounce it but trying to spell it? That's a different beast. lol
Ho-n-wall
Mak Siccar yes. That is how I have always heard it pronounced
Finger, Bucksnort and Frogjump. For real.
Even though it's easy to pronounce you should have included "Bucksnort", just because it's such a funny name.
Bucksnort, Tennessee - yes it has a nice ring to it!
