There was a tornado approaching Delhi, LA a couple of weeks ago and on the weather channel they were pronouncing it Delly like New Delhi in India.

These two, in particular, can be wholly dependent upon WHERE in Louisiana you are pronouncing it.

That’s cuz Lafayette is filled with Texicans and North North LA hillbillies.

I've been asking for a non-local Louisiana pronunciation guide for three years now. How in the hell am I 'sposed to know it is I-owe-aye. Instead of the traditional pronunciation?

Natchitoches
Not just pronouncing it either. Spelling it is a chore. I’m a NSU alum and I still have to look up the spelling.
I’m related to a bunch of Barras’ from the Lafayette area. They get a lot of barris rather than bah rah east of the Atchafalaya.

It's pronounced Vur sales. Deal with it Frenchies
I’m sorry, you ignorant hillbilly, you don’t get to take a French place name, especially an INSANELY FAMOUS ONE, name your little podunk town after it, and then butcher the pronunciation and claim your way is correct,
It’s not mur-LOT, or Sow-VIG-non, or CHAR-Donnie either.
