Arkansas Pronunciation

This is not a political attack. It has been discussed before.
What is the correct pronunciation of "Arkansas"?
The reason is SBH, during one of her speeches, called people from there "Ar-kan-sans". So why is the state "Ar-kan-saw"?

This sounds dumb
Pretty sure it's "Ar-kan-sons" and "Ar-kan-daughters."

It might be copying Kansas. Their people are Kansans.

No biggie.
This post was pointing out how confusing what is correct with the pronunciation.

It’s pronounced R-Kansas

Good link. It explains people in La. are Louisianians.
But some pronounce the state with "La-Weezy" and some with "Loozy".
Most people I've encountered here use 'weezy' for the state but they use 'loozy' for people in the state.

We were a state 25 years before Kansas so we aren't copying anything.

Yeah. The only people I heard use Naw-lins was Cajuns in New Iberia.
BTW, blacks in Shreveport call it Shrevesport.

Our-Kansas. We have our Kansas and they have theirs.

Do you say Kansas or Kansaw? Hopefully that answered your question.
Now, go piss off an Arkansan!!

Does this mean Les Miles knew what he was talking about (in this one instance)?
Posted on 10/20/23 at 2:27 pm to Timeoday
I've always called it Ar-kan-sas due to Kansas.
