I say "Leeziana" and the wife looks at me weird.

Agree with your wife. That is weird.

I say it like "Loo-ziana" most of the time. Sometimes I actually pronounce it "correctly"...

"Lousy-ana" is the only acceptable pronunciation in Texas.

Loo easy ana, or Loozy ana sort of depending on what dialect I am talking in.

This is the correct answer. All of my family members from Louisiana pronounce it this way.

So is it correct way to say it or the Louisiana way to say it, it can't be both...

After living in New Orleans for a year, this is what I left with:

Nor-lins Loo-weasy-ana

The folks who said Nawlins were either really coon-ass or making fun of coon-asses, so I stayed away from it.

While we're at it... It's pronounced Apple-atcha

Like "she threw an apple atcha"

Same here. Have plenty of coon ass family (born at Barksdale AFB myself) that pronounce it that way.

Reminds me of the old joke:

How do you pronounce the capital of Kentucky? Lueyville, Looville, or Lewisville?








Frankfort.

There may be some cajuns in New orleans but they aren't indigenous. N'awlins is how New Orleaneans say it.

Everyone I know says Looz ee anna.
