How do you pronounce New Orleans?

any way is accepted. however correctly, since it french, new OR-Lee-Ans. but im from near there and people say in different ways. thats so weird i just moved from near there to miami. what a quink-i-dink. :)

new or lee on

Depends where you are from. I've heard it pronounced N'awlins when I was down there but I say New OR - Linnz from up north

N'Awlins is the way most locals say it but it has a lot of different pronounceations

I lived in Louisiana and my son was born in Metairie.(Just outside New Orleans) While I was there, most of the people I knew and myself, referred to New Orleans as New Awlins or N'Awlins.

Aside from the fabulous drinking...the Garden District and the history there are incredible to experience.

I think a lot of people say it differently and there's nothing wrong with any of the pronunciations. Say it however it rolls off your tongue. ;)

It's pronounced many ways from people here in the area, depending where in the area you are from.

I like "N'Awlins Dawlin."

I hate when people pronounce it "New Orleenz."

I actually say, ".New Awe-lens."

The way you say it is fine. A lot of people say it that way. How ever you like is fine.

La New-vehle Ohr-lay-on

(in french)

For the record, when I speak in French, a lot of people think I am Acadian (a French Creole from Louisiana) even though I live in a neighbouring state and root for Auburn :)

I pronounce it Ah-gen.

well its spelled to be prononced New or leens,but I have been told it should be prononced New or lens''leenz''..

So I go with nomber two..

I like the last one though,its kind of funny saying New or lee an's,like saying new or old..

All of those are right...I saw New Or-Linnz and i live there so yea...I hear all 3 ways all the time

As stated by a few people from N'awlins its pronounced N'awlins.
