Speaking as someone who grew up in Oklahoma, it is NOT a southern state. We are pretty much the only state that doesn’t fit in any of the regions. We aren’t Southern, we aren’t part of the Plains, and we aren’t Midwest. We are Oklahoma.
You ever hear of gen. Stand Waitie?. Last southern gen to surrender to the union. He was a Cherokee who lead a bunch of Indians against the north. In fact my great granddaddy was a southern Calvary officer who was born and bred right here in Oklahoma Try reading some eighth grade Oklahoma history.
A lot of the "weird" pronunciations of Oklahoma towns come from their roots as Native American words. Chickasha is a Choctaw word. Miami (pronounced mi-yam-uh) comes from the Miami Tribe of Oklahoma. Checotah was named after a Creek Nation chief. Even the name Oklahoma comes from the Choctaw words okla and humma, meaning "red people" or, more formally, "Land of the Red Man". This is a state built and inhabited by Native American tribes, and the culture of those tribes is the lifeblood of our state.
@@ericaangel1380 fun fact on that the Oklahoma Miami pronunciation is by the Native American tribe. The Florida Miami pronunciation is by a different Native American tribe.
Went to Falls Creek with the Baptists and also to the AOG camp (though I think the Baptists have since taken that one over as well). And I’m Lutheran.😅
I live in Lincoln Parish. So Ouachita is easy for me to pronounce. But did the Southern Thing Gang pronounce "Ouachita" correctly per OK standards? I am a bit confused.
Thankyou for saying Oklahoma is a southern state because I live in southern Oklahoma a town named tishomingo where Blake Shelton restaurant is and we speak like Texans
I think it varies depending on the part of the state you're in. Idabel? That's the South. Lawton? That's the Southwest. Tulsa? Who knows, they're weird up there.
Its depends...Well my dad definitely sounds southern and he is southern and when he speaks it's only southern.And me...sometimes I do have the accent but I am southern either way.I do think it's good that u can consider yourself southern no matter what others think...I had to ask my grandma if I was southern and she was like u definitely are since u always had the accent.Sometimes I don't even notice it much but I am then I think how my dad is southern which kinda gave that away even more since I grew up about only a little bit around my dad in earlier years and now I just visit him when I want. Tbh people at my old schools tell me that I am southern and this was before I even asked that question but I always told them that I wasn't and I couldn't tell but now I can definitely tell that I am and I'm okay being southern.
XxKaylaxX yea you’re right, but geographically speaking Oklahoma is in the Great Plains. Culturally speaking a lot of oklahomans would probably say they’re southern especially outside of the city
THANK YOU! I don't know how many times we've driven through Bache on our way to McAlester, and I tried to figure out how to pronounce it. I never guessed "batch"! BTW - how can Oklahoma NOT be Southern? The people here have deeper Southern accents than a lot of Texans I know, and more so than some of the folks on this channel! And Oklahomans know what grits are, and grow/eat okra, drink sweet tea...
As an Okie I'm proud to say I grew a 10 foot tall okra plant in Norman, and have been working on growing them bigger. I dunno if that's super southern of me, but at least I have okra growing bragging rights.
Okie culture definitely matches uo more with southern culture than it does with midwestern culture. Not to mention historically the people the have lived here have helped the south out and many southerners came here before, after, and during the civil war.
I'm from Oklahoma, and how you pronounce Miami, OK bugs me! But not all of our towns have weird names! And everybody ought to know how to say Muskogee because of the song.
So glad y'all finally got to my state - but these were some of the milder names, lol! And y'all are all welcome here any time, because YES WE ARE SOUTHERN!!!
Chickasha and Miami was the deal breaker. The rest I could forgive, considering that they look weird. Try Waynoka, Oklahoma next time. We keep telling yall it's wuh not way or why.
My mom was an Okie, which IS SOUTHERN, I got a few, but only because I've been there before to visit Okie relatives. And everyone there loves fried okra (snot weed according to my dad). Y'all call it that, too? Take care and keep your barrel clean. - bo_leggs.
@@josephcampbell2400 that was the supper that my granny always made my daddy and his eight other brothers and sisters. But she also forgot about the buttermilk biscuits that melt in your mouth.
Another great and entertaining video! It truly helps me enhance my Southern accent, considering I told my mother that I was watching a video on how to pronounce "Al-co-ho-mah" town names!
They could have put my gown in there, Sasakwa. Lived here a month before getting it right. Biggest challenge is these aren’t just Southern but Native American and different tribes at that.
Ya'll made my day, and YES, Oklahoma is a Southern state and proud of it! I could actually pronounce most of those names and have even been to some of them. You missed Gotebo and Bugtussle though.
I love this channel. I do wish that people would consider that a lot of these names have indigenous origins and that's why they might be spelled in unexpected ways. It just seems obvious to me and kinda weird that it's completely ignored.
my granny is from Mena Arkansas and she even says that were Southern. People that have you ever been to Oklahoma say that we're not us Southern State. Or they've only been to one of our major cities like Lawton or Tulsa or the city.
I spent a couple of summers in Durant about 40 years ago. Achille is a little flyspeck town south of there. Some of the locals had a little fun with this AZ kid by quizzing me on how I thought "Atch-lee" was spelled. They really de-emphasized the "uh" in the middle but it might have been there, it's a 40 year old memory after all.
I'm in Moore. It's hot and humid in the summer, so it's southern. But there's nothing to stop the wind in the winter, so it's northern. Hell, we're right in the middle, so who knows . 😜
Having nothing to stop the wind in the winter time actually makes us a Southern state. Because northern states have snow to absorb all the cold air in the wind. Where is in a South you only have hard ground so it just bounces off and we get the full force of it. So that makes us a Southern state.
You know why the wind comes sweeping down the plains in Oklahoma? Because Texas sucks! LOL seriously, outside of football I have no problems with Texas.
I am cracking up that Bokchito is listed!! 😂😂 I'm from Bokchito, born and raised here, and it's pronounced "boke-cheeto", NOT "bok-cheat-uh". 😂 Where did y'all find that pronunciation? It's a Choctaw name. "Bok" means "creek" and "chito" means "big". Bokchito: Creek Big or Big Creek.
If y'all don't think Oklahoma is the south then why did Mighty Merle Haggard dedicate a song to us. We also got our own southern musical, a cowboy and Indian museum, the pioneer woman lives here and we make the best apple cobbler this side of the States. Child come on down and tell me we ain't the south 😂
The Pioneer Woman is from the north I'm pretty sure. But other than that yeah we're pretty Southern. Not to mention that we were actually but with the Confederates. And the Southern Baptist convention center is in Oklahoma.
OMG, I love this channel, and I'm not Southern. But in rural Ohio, they do play country music. In Hocking Hills they have one FM station, and it's country. So I learned to like Luke Bryan.
I'm so happy my home state is on a video by yall I've been asking for all the time it's on here and we are undoubtedly southern however tulsa ain't southern anymore just like atlanta
My grandma was from Oklahoma and grew up during the depression. They ate black eyed peas, corn bread, and milk most nights for dinner. Although a very small meal it’s definitely a very southern one.
Texas and Oklahoma maybe considered 'Southern', but I prefer 'Southwestern' instead... a little bit Southern but a big blend of Western as well. Both are unique from the rest of the 'South'.
I know you’re really only doing southern states but you should really do Colorado. We’ve got quite a few that are pretty weird, e.x.: Saguache, Vilas, Ouray, Uncompahgre, Del Norte, Tabernash, Cache La Poudre, Kinikinik, Naturita, Olathe, Uravan (not too weird), Hoehne, Abeyta, Delhi, Eads, Berthoud Falls, Nederland (also not too weird), Niwot, Arickaree, Kelim, Timnath, Cotopaxi, Salida, Lasauses, and probably some more I can’t think of
I'm from Lawton OK and I'd say it's extremely southern. I have family both here and in TX and go back and forth between the two almost constantly, and I'd have to say if there's any difference in speech or mannerisms, then I can't Identify it.

Well I've also heard of Checotah and Miami and I'm Oklahoman.

Most of those towns I've never heard of. The others only get talked about when a tornado warning is issued! And yes we are part of the south!
Yes lol. I tried to hone David Paynes voice and see if I could rustle up a memory of how to pronounce it haha
