  • In the South, never judge a town name by the way it's spelled. These town names in Tennessee are no exception.

    Don't feel ashamed. I'm from Tennessee and I got barely any of those right. Except for Sevierville, because of COURSE! Everyone knows that one. Surprised you didn't put up Maryville too. Because it's not pronounced how you spell it. I once heard someone out of state call it Mary-ville, and I'm like..."that's not how you pronounce that." It's "Mur-ville".

    • @wilhard45
      @wilhard45 Před 5 lety

      As a youngster i thought Maryville was spelled Mare-ville. An older cousin would load all us kids up into his car, run down Alcoa Trail and then over to the "lionses" food store (Food Lion) and get some coca-colas out of the vending machine outside the store. Each bottle set you back a whole nickle. Sigh, them were the good ole days.

    You missed Lafayette pronounced La-fette.
    And yes the F is lowercase because they literally passed a bill to change the name of the town from what the actual name of a man was.

    Tennessee is Cherokee named after the town of a similar name (different spelling clearly) and towns in Eastern Tennessee and Kentucky as well as Western Georgia and the Carolinas tend to have Cherokee names some are even built on or near sites of old Cherokee towns of the same name. Part part of the problem is the rendering of Cherokee and other Native American names by the English settlers, sometimes after having previously being rendered by the French, Spanish and Portuguese. The Dutch and Germans were also there as well as Scottish and Irish.

    Any TN town ending in -ville must be pronounced as -vul. That will help you out with a lot of names! And I don't know why, but Ooltewah always cracks me up! We drive through there a lot, and I always have to shout "Ootawah!"

    I love these videos, but I grew up with a Grandma who was raised in Celina, great aunts and great uncles who also were. We spent countless weekends in the small town, I used to go to Church there, I still visit often, I have camped and fished there, been boating there, worked near there, and even lived there briefly. No one has ever pronounced it Suh-Luh-Nuh. Its Suh-LIE-Nuh... or if you have that particularly type or TN accent that turns your ‘ie’ sounds into an ‘ah’ kinda sound, then its Suh-LAH-Nuh. Y’all got this one wrong, but I still love ya!
