Is it Marengo kinda like Mango or is it like Mare en joe? I do love how weird a lot of the pronunciations are in Louisiana and especially New Orleans. If anybody wants to post other words with ridiculous pronunciations, feel free.

Pronounced as if the “e” were a hard “a”. Marango (you almost hear the word, Ray, in the middle of the word.

I still don’t get the BurGUNdy pronunciation of Burgundy.

Why is GUN emphasized by locals?

You’ll find the beautiful former home of reconstruction governor warmoth on merango. Interesting guy who knew lincoln and grant and fought for the union in Vicksburg prior to being governor of Louisiana. Of course the democrats ruined everything he was trying to accomplish with their racism and corruption
