My too y'all, I just was like they got to do Mississippi they just got to !cause when u talking about southern states u can't leave out the most southern-ests state of them all!
I knew of all but 2 and could pronounce most of those. My wife is from Louisville. My parents live just outside of Tchula. I lived a stone's throw from THE Kiln for many years. Always drove through Kosciusko from home to Starkville.
Born and raised in MS, and I can’t pronounce all the names either, so don’t feel bad! I didn’t know until yesterday that we have a town called Possumneck. Who thought that was a good idea?
My mother is from Mississippi and half my family is still there. I'm calling BS on how they believe Natchez is pronounced. I've heard probably 100 people never say Natchez like they said it was pronounced.
I spent my summers as a kid at my grandfather’s in Kosciusko. We would drive 15 mins to Thomastown everyday to farm. He knew pretty much everyone around there!
Candy York if it hadn’t been on here I was gonna say something. I lived there for two years and it was the hardest thing whenever I had to tell someone my address
As someone who lives between the two towns, Kiln is always referred to as "the Kill" instead of just "Kill," and Pass Christian has less or even no "ee" sound at the end. Say "Pass Chris Jan" fast and you've nailed it. XD
@@KeganTheTowel Not wrong, exactly, just colloquially they drop the N sound. Pronouncing it would give away that you're not from there. Admittedly, I pronounce the N because I just don't like calling a place "the Kill," but mostly I just avoiding saying the town name altogether. 😅
Yeah my dad lived in Bay St. Louis and now lives in Pass Christian.we say “The Kiln” too. When I was in 6th grade my science teacher tried to tell me that Bay St. Louis wasn’t a place, that that was the name of the Bay and that the name of the city was St. Louis. I simply said that my dad lived there and that she was wrong, she said no ask your dad. So I did and he said yep that I was right. 😂😂
And Isola....my daddy was born and raised there, my mama in Belzoni....the story I heard how these two towns were named - a man trying to sell a cow went through the twin calling out "bells on her! bells on her!" until he went through next little town calling "I sol 'er. I sol 'er" (that goofy story told in memory of my Daddy who left this earth in April this year ❤)
The majority of the names of the cities in our state are Native American and French. I am from Biloxi (from the Biloxi Sioux Native American tribe). Gautier we pronounce "go•chay" and the Shuqulak we pronounce it as "shook•ah•lahk". Good try, though! God Bless!
Most people not from the Coast mispronounce Biloxi, too. You can always tell when companies don't use local production companies for television and radio commercials when they pronounce it "Bil LOCKS ee".
Mississippi is my state and there is a reason we can’t spell because what we say ain’t nothing like it’s spelled. Not that we are stupid we are an undeveloped state with poor communities and spelling isn’t as important as putting food in the table.
Between the Native Americans, French, Spanish, and English we have quite the collection of weird town names. (Not just weird pronunciation) There is Picayune, D’Iberville, Hot Coffee, Possumneck, Whynot, Soso, D’Lo, Money, Rolling Fork, Scooba, Chunky, Woolmarket, Ofahoma, Biloxi, and Sweatman, Panther Burn, Itta Bena, Petal, Magee, Poplarville, and Pascagoula, etc. it’s rough here in MS 😂😂
It's actually spelled Shuqualak. Im born and raised Noxubee county (Shuqualaks County). Now I live just across the county line, about 25 mins south of Louisville in Nanih Waiya. Gholson, Hushuqua (hay sugar), Wahalak, Noxapater, Mashulaville (ma shuval) Oktibbeha, Scooba and a thousand more mainly from the Choctaw Language. I can take y'all through them all lol. Back roads and all
Ya'll got the pronunciation Kiln wrong. We call it either Kiln (usually when referring to the proper name of town/state) or The Kill. The 'the' is really important because otherwise you're saying it wrong (even though some people do just call it Kill). Kiln used to be an important logging community along the Coast, and it was named for the log kiln that was the main feature of the town at the time.
Thank you kindly! I've been waiting for this one! I really wondered why Tchoutacabouffa wasn't included but I understand now that it was an ameteur contest.
Born/raised in South Central MS. If this is right I've been saying Brett Favre's hometown wrong all my life. I thought the N in Kiln wasn't silent. Ironic that Favre isn't pronounced the way it's spelled too. Haha
I watch these and wonder who came up with the spelling and pronunciation when the spelling and pronunciation is way off. At least in Louisiana a lot are spelled and pronounced in a cajun/French way
I worked in the trucking industry and we had a man who worked there could not pronounce Kosciusko. When he had to say it, he would always turn to me and say "Pat, what is the name of that town in Mississippi?" And even though I was born in Arkansas, grew up in Tennessee, I now live in Mississippi in a small town that people absolutely CANNOT pronounce correctly. I tell them it is not Uka, Luka but IUKA.....just like it is spelled. And Ouachita........well I grew up hearing it pronounced correctly
These towns are Indian Names. There are also counties with Indian names like, Issaquena, Itawamba,Yalobusha and Oktibbeha to name a few. Remember the Tallahatchie River in the song, 'Ode to Billy Joe' by Bobbie Gentry? It was also an Indian name.
I’m from Mississippi and you’re right Mississippians pronounce it as Ben-NOIT. The only reason I know Ben-wah is the proper pronunciation is because one of my aunts told me. she’s a wrestling fan and we used to watch Chris Benoit wrestle.
If there is another Mississippi town pronunciation video to come soon, I'd love to see how they can say the town name Escatawpa, the home of 3 Doors Down!!!! Also Magee!!! Sometimes in my home town of Magee, I hear a lot of mispronunciations and even times the town is not so much said wrong, but misspelled as McGee
Ok, I watched the first one, and now this one. I need to hear y'all tryin to say Quitaque. And Pflugerville. And La Mesa. Now, as a native Texan currently forced to live in Oklahoma, I have to put up with folks pronouncing Elgin wrong constantly! There is an Elgin here too, and they pronounce it with the soft g sound. Drives me nuts.
All the other state ones have been hard because the way u say them are way off of how it's spelled. At least the Louisiana would be easier for them because the cajun accent is always made fun of in movies and plus they use Louisiana in a lot of movies
in Florida we have cities named after Indian words and Spanish words. I personally think it's funny as heck to find out the English translations of these names for example Boca Raton means BIG RAT. Alachua means BIG JUGS. And I'll save you the trouble of the of the joke yes in Florida we have a BIG RAT with BIG JUGS.
An ex boyfriend's mom always referred to Starkville as Starchvuhl. So even a town that should be easy to pronounce for Mississippians, isn't for some.😅
Most of them were pronouncing Natchez correctly (its NAT-chez, not NATCH-ess). I'm kind of disappointed that they didn't use Saucier (SO-sure) right after Gautier (GO-shay). Also, it's "THE kill" and "thuh PASS" (but Pass KRIS-chee-ANN is acceptable). Some of my favorites include: Escatawpa (es-kuh-TAW-puh) D'Iberville (DEE EYE-ber-vill) North Gulfport (OAR'nj grOVE) DeLisle (duh-LIL) De Kalb (dee-KAB) Eastabuchie (esTA-boo-chee) Picayune (picky-yoon)
If you are in the culinary realm, it is Saucier (so--see-ay). If you are in Mississippi, it is Saucier (so-sha). Kinda surprised it didn't make your list of town names. Love this channel!
Teresa Wise Yep. Between the Native Americans, French, Spanish, and English we have quite the collection of weird town names. (Not just weird pronunciation) There is Picayune, D’Iberville, Hot Coffee, Possumneck, Whynot, Soso, D’Lo, Money, Rolling Fork, and Sweatman.

Other than Ouachita and fourche. It would be too easy. Everything is pronounced exactly as it's spelled and spelled exactly as it's pronounced. Petit Jean kills me. It's french. It's not pet it jean or the shortened peti jean
I've heard it pronounced two ways from people that live there. Loose-dale and Loo-cee-dale. But there seems to be a larger percentage that pronounce it Loose-dale so that's what I go with.
You know these cities are hard to pronounce (and unheard of) when a life long Mississippian has only heard of there and only knows how to pronounce two of them
2:20...that word is choctaw tribal language. During the removal of choctaws, the choctaws traveled north to what is called "Oklahoma". That's another choctaw word. Fun fact: arkansas has choctaw words also.
I’ve never heard it pronounced like that everyone calls it the kiln. As a northern who moved to MS 4 years ago I relate to how some of these people pronounce the cities. (I’m much better at it now)
A lot of Indian tribes were here in Mississippi
Mississippi means big river i think in cherokee people already know that tho
@@coreaball4198 no, it means "Father of Waters"

I'm from Mississippi and we always called it Shook a lack
Yeah I've got in-laws from there. I thought they said "Shook a lock".
Hannah Greer me too. I live in Mississippi . Never hear that pronunciation.
I'm from Mississippi I say Shuga lock kinda like sugar with a twang... With out the r.... Not sugar but shuga

Alabama pronounces it Shoo-ga-lock.

Ha! I’m sorry that you think it’s such an awful place to live! I’m quite happy here. 😘
We have the same name! Also I Love my Home state MS
Anne-Marie McDonald ha! And it’s so refreshing to see it spelled correctly! Lol!
Anne-Marie agreed. Substitute teachers can never get it right. I was called Anna today by a sub 🤨😂.
Yay! So glad y'all did Mississippi!
I was gonna protest if Shuqualak wasn't in there.
pikehk that’s my hometown 😂😂
Yessss I have been waiting and commenting for this video. Y’all listened. I’m so happy!!!! We need a part 2. OMG. My day is made guys!!!
I had the same reaction

@@overyonderways His mother was...Ellen Degeneres mother also lives in the Pass.
Down here we call Kiln, The Kill, That is also where Bret Favre is from but he doesn't live there. He lives about 20 minutes up the road from me.
You forgot Belzoni. The correct pronunciation, at least in the Delta, is Bel-ZONA.
They also forgot Schlater. Pronounced Slaughter
my thoughts exactky!!! i expected that to be in here
Marion Stevens What about a little town called Caro which is pronounced SESS-a-ruh-TOH
Some of my families live thier

Jude F. That one screwed me up because I thought it was Nacogdoches, which is in Texas.
@@FawleyJude Lol its looks weird. Even being from Louisana I thought it was odd to pronounce it "na-kuh-dish"
Maria Gordon YES! There also needs to be a Cajun Siri.
The majority of the names of the cities in our state are Native American and French.
I am from Biloxi (from the Biloxi Sioux Native American tribe).
Gautier we pronounce "go•chay" and the Shuqulak we pronounce it as "shook•ah•lahk".
Good try, though!
God Bless!
Well Biloxi is easy but the ones in the video sound nothing like they are spelled
Idk I always called Gautier "Hoe-Shay" because that's where all the hoes live (including me).
Most people not from the Coast mispronounce Biloxi, too. You can always tell when companies don't use local production companies for television and radio commercials when they pronounce it "Bil LOCKS ee".
My family is from Benoit and y’all were saying it right. No body calls it by the proper pronunciation. The second lady got it right!
I'm Russian and I've got like 60 to 75% of them correct. Am I nuts? I think so!
I take it English is not your first language. A lot of these are French or Algonquin.
The channel got a few wrong.

I was thinking the same thing! Never been there, but I've heard the name on the Channel 3 news enough to know.
I drove through Benoit last night. It is definitely not Ben-wah.
Because that’s probably how it was pronounced by the French colonists who settled there
Tyger D. I could be wrong though. I just figured since Benoît is a pretty common name in France and that’s how it’s pronounced
Silvanus Rempel That’s how it would be pronounced in Louisiana (Ben-WAH).
I’m from Gautier so I def know that one but there are two pronunciations used by the locals. I say Go-Shay.

2:20...that word is choctaw tribal language. During the removal of choctaws, the choctaws traveled north to what is called "Oklahoma". That's another choctaw word.
Fun fact: arkansas has choctaw words also.
I live in Oktibbeha county, I want to see them try to say that! 🤣 Great job guys. 😊✌️
Everyone knows Kiln is actually pronounced as The Kill.
I’ve never heard it pronounced like that everyone calls it the kiln. As a northern who moved to MS 4 years ago I relate to how some of these people pronounce the cities. (I’m much better at it now)
@@isaacchristiansummey5494 Maybe they were messing with me, but I lived pretty close to there and everyone called it Kill.
I’m from Mississippi and I’ve never heard of any of these cities!! Except Louisville
PLEASE DO LOUISIANA NEXT!!!!!
I used to live in Kosciusko! Now I’m in Lucedale! Y’all got both of my home towns!! Ole Kosci and the ‘Dale
That’s why we do it, so you can pass on through....💋
Hey y’all should do Oklahoma town names we have some weird ones. Please do it. With a pecan pie slice with ice cream on it
Missing some good South Mississippi names: Biloxi, Pascagoula, Saucier (just to throw them off), Carriere, Picayune, D'Lo, D'Iberville... 💁🏻♂️
Purvis, Sumrall, and Picayune would of worked as well
Iuka, Byhalia, Belzoni, would of been good too
We had a new news anchor some years back and she absolutely butchered “Biloxi” 😂
I had been hoping for byhalia and d’iberville, but it was a pretty good list
Language Learning Lover Siri can’t even say biloxi 🤦🏽♀️
Best one ever ..... Bellefountaine .... Tomnolan...Chunky.... Yockanookany River... Guntown
Benoit is Ben-oi. Not Ben-wa. I’ve never heard it said the other way and Wikipedia agrees.
Funny thing there is also a Natchez Louisiana
Benoit is NOT pronounced Ben-wah!!!! It’s Ben-oyt. It’s a tiny place right outside of Greenville. Come on now!!!
THANK YOU!
Came here just to say this 😸. Also, I would’ve loved to hear them take a shot at Bogue Chitto
I think Chris Ben Wah would say other wise 🤣
Northern people say my hometown Two- pello. It's Too-pel- o! 😆😆😆
4th Finally I'm in the top 5.😃😃😃😃😃😃😃😃😃😃
I was waiting for this!! I can't wait to share it with my students.
Yall gotta do Virginia soon. We got some good ones
Some Guy yes!!
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAH! I moved from Natchez to Kosciusko when I was in the third grade! My head almost exploded when I had to learn how to spell it!
As a Mississippian I'm severely offended
Same here 😂
Kiln is prounounced with or without the N, depending on the context of the sentence, but it’s never just “Kill”, it’s “The Kill” :)
