Puh kahn or pay kahn if you're a coonass.
Edit: cosmos graphic shows pick kahn which is probably a better way to write it

If you ask me how to pronounce it, it's 'puh/pi-cawn".
However I sarcastically said it as pee-can WAY too much and it has become almost natural; I accidentally say it that way often now and need to wash my mouth out with soap.

So what’s the correct pronunciation?

puh cawn - an edible nut
Pee-can - what a long haul trucker uses
Pee-can - what a long haul trucker uses

Do that many people really stress the "e" in pecan as much as that map makes it look like?

Puh-Kahn, you uncultured swine.

PUH-cawn, MON-row, PO-lice

If you say pee-can I know I can't trust you.
Posted on 1/7/19 at 2:24 pm to GreyWhiskers
I believe it's pronounced baw-Kahn

I grew up in pecan country (south Ga) and most of my family said pee-can .... since that’s what it is.

Puh-kahn.
And can anyone confirm this for me? In my plant ID class at LSU I was told the cajun term was "le pecané savage." I'm not sure if the professor was bullshitting us or not.
