Jum-buh-lie-uh. Any other way is inherently wrong. Fact.
Jam-buh-lie-uh is cringe-worthy.

I say it correctly. Bye-you.
However for some reason if it's a specific bayou, like Bayou Boeff, I just say Bye (with a faint hint of an "a" sound) Boeff.

It is pronounced "Buy You".
The rest of you chumps are wrong.
Scruffy done knows what he is talking about.

Jmcs, Scruffy hates to say it, but TH03 is correct.
ay-too-fay is the proper pronunciation.

Ok me & about 5000 other people are just sad then.

I've lived in La. my entire life, and never once, ever, heard anyone pronounce it anything other than buy you. Ever.
Posted on 2/5/14 at 8:56 pm to jmcs68
who are these 5000 people?
Posted on 2/5/14 at 8:56 pm to Scruffy
I didn't say he wasn't.
It was asked how I & the people where I live pronounce it.
And that's how they pronounce it.
