Can You Pronounce These Nine Louisiana Places Correctly?
Louisiana is known for our rich culture, food, and music, but we also have some very unique names in our state, like Calcasieu, pronounced by President Trump on a recent visit to Hackberry, as CAL-CASK-OO-CHOO.
We're also best known for using common words as alternate meanings. For instance, we use the word boot to describe were we come from, humidity is a season, fishing is a required skill, and F.E.M.A. is a very bad F-word you are not allowed to say.
Check out these names that can be hard to pronounce or spell.
