Can You Pronounce These Texas Towns? 

Y'all forgot the following... 1. Nacogdoches (Nak-uh-doe-chuss) 2. Humble (Um-bull) 3. Kuykendahl (Kirk-in-doll) 4. Shenandoah (Shannon-doe-uh) 5. Fuchs (Foox) 6. Just for fun, have them pronounce Pecan (Puh-Kawn)

I was waiting for Boerne...

Refugio and Bexar y’all pronounce wrong B

There’s a cluster of Texas towns that were settled by Polish immigrants. They are Cestohowa, Kosciusko, Polonia, and Panna Maria.

Bois d' arc = board ark Isla Bois = zilla boy Little elm = little ellum

My mom went to elementary school in Agua Dulce, and she always said "Ahwa DOOLsee."

Not a town but Kuykendal (Ker Ken Dahl)

No one says Agua dulsa, Crystal got it right.

There’s a Miami in OK. It, too, is pronounced M-I-A-M-A.

The thing is… these towns are named from German settlers, Native Americans, Irish settlers, Scottish settlers, previous Mexican owners and now settlers, Polish settlers, etc… There is no key to pronouncing because they all come from different cultures.

Can they pronounce all the Texas Rivers?

Add to the list Boerne, Greune, Banquete, Seguin, Study Butte, Quitaque, Pyote, Coyonosa, Mexia, Jiba, Pflugerville.

I live in Bexar County, and knew all of these. I was waiting for them to bring in Manor (pronounced May'-ner) and Waxahachie, (Pronounced Wochs'-a-hatch-ee.)

Waxahachie

Mabank! Near Gun Barrel City

Funny how Miami is near the Oklahoma border but Oklahoma has its own Miami

you forgot Mexia

Some names in the far northeast are not pronounced anything like they're spelled, especially to this Texan.

No Mexia?

I got Refugio right. Nolan Ryan's hometown. Refugio & San Patricio were both settled by Irish immigrants while Texas was still part of Mexico, 1820s.

I can’t speak for the non-Spanish town names but the Spanish names get butchered big time in English, i.e. Refugio ( no second R but pronounced RefuREEoh ) Ganado pronounced GaNAdoh, Bexar (BeHar) pronounced Bare, btw, that is the county name of San Antonio or San Antone, Palacios (PalaCEEos) pronounced PuLAshuss. If one is speaking Spanish the towns will be pronounced as they should. But then again, this is Texas! So the towns will be pronounced in Texan English 😂 I love being TEXAN!❤

After so many videos of Americans 'butchering' the pronunciation of British towns and cities, this was fun to watch. 🙂

Waxahachie

Obvious missed opportunities...Leakey and Joshua

Italy, Texas, pronounced IT-lee

No need too….its texass.

Salado

Hate to say it, but you got quite a few out right WRONG. Yes, the natives call it Re Fur E O, however if you are from South of the Border it's Re Foo E O (the G is silent). Yes it's pronounce BEAR, but in true Spanish The H has a "breath" sound. Agua is correct, however, NOBODY here in South Texas says "Dulce" like that. "Dul See"

Dumas, Texas? I have a dog named Dumas. And I never lived in Texas.

I grew up in iraan

Agua Dulce you pronounce wrong… again

Manchaca..baby that's where it's at 😁
