You know how they pronounce Diane Fontenot in Ville Platte right now?

Hearing y'all pronounce the name for that stuff that comes in the Duke's and Blue Plate jars gives me the frissons.

It goes with the french infused language. We dont say Jean as in "jeen". We say it with a long "on" sound. Trahan, Petitjean, Laurents, all end in "on".
also is it just Marrero people that hyphenate names in pronunciation?
Jeanie is Jean knee
Linda is Lin duh
Sandra is San Dra
cross da riva is cross da riva.
and

I think Judge Duhe pronounces it more like Dewey. I think Bo does too.
