Yes, but also I'm from Mountain Home, which is in the same area as Gamaliel and Gepp. Thankfully, those were done justice, which is good cause I consider those shibboleths. You have to either know someone from there or be from there to already know.
90 percent of the people there are not natives of arkansas there either from texas or cali thats the entir state except for NWA saye fehhhhtville especially black people
@@caylonmustiful9746 90% of people in the state pronounce it Fay-it-ville. The other 10 percent aren't from Arkansas. Seriously, 30 years here and I've never heard anyone pronounce it "Fet-Vuhl."
I have never heard fayt-vul till this video. I live in Springdale and Ive always heard people pronounce it Fay-it-ville, even the people that live in Fayetteville pronounces it Fay-it-Ville.
I have lived in NW Arkansas my entire almost 40 years of life, and have never heard of whatever city you are referring to with Faytvul or whatever y'all call it
Couldn't even watch it all the way through after you messed up my home town. Fayetteville is pronounced exactly like it's spelled. You need to redo this one. So sad, but, I guess you tried. Bless your little heart.
YAAAASSSSS!!!! I AM SO HAPPY TO FINALLY SEE AN ARKANSAS VIDEO!!!! The ultimate joy! I am from Arkansas but currently live in China so seeing my home state on this glorious channel has literally made my whole month! Bless y'all!!
No no no, I live in Fayetteville and we pronounce it exactly the same as they do in North Carolina; Fay-yet-ville and we are AR-kan-zans . 🙄 You missed Osceola in the Northeastern part. Pronounced Oh-see-oh-la not Oss-see-oh-la.
I’d been waiting for the Arkansas episode for six months at least and I don’t know if I could be more disappointed. I love this channel but y’all phoned this one in.
Is Bellefonte really that hard to pronounce? Lol. We have towns called Bald Knob and Toad Suck, and I think that's more difficult to comprehend than how to pronounce Fayetteville, which isn't Fet-vul btw. Bless their hearts. 😂
Or eve better Possum Grape and my Grandfather's birth certificate shows he was born in Swamp Poodle, Arkansas. Sadly that town is now just a bunch of farmland.
I'm an Arkansas too, they could do an entire video of town names that are pronounced differently than their famous counterparts, such as Monticello and El Dorado. I'm disappointed non of them knew how to pronounce Fouke though, since it is the place that The Legend of Boggy Creek was shot.
I"ve lived in Arkansas my ENTIRE life, which is just 2 months away from 50 years. I have NEVER heard anyone pronounce Fayetteville "Fet-vuhl" ... never. It's Fay-ett-ville. Just like it's spelled. Sorry.
I’ve spent a lot of time in Solgahachia, so glad to see it made the list! One of my favorites that usually doesn’t make these kinds of lists that I see is Bayou Meto, pronounced “buy-o meet-a.” Fun!
I’ve lived in Arkansas my whole life, and with one or two exceptions, I’ve never heard these town names pronounced these ways. I’m not sure who told you how we pronounce them, but they are obviously not an Arkansan. 😂 Or if they are, they have a language all their own. Fayetteville especially cracked me up; I have family who are from Fayetteville, and have spent a lot of time there myself, and I’ve never ever heard anyone pronounce it any way besides FAYit-vill or FAYit-vuhl.
Unfortunately Alot Of People Dont Know Of Our Native & French Origins. That's Where Alot Of Our Town Names Come From (If They Aren't Named After A Person Or Thing).
Early French explorers gave the territory its name, Akansea. It was an area deeply rooted in French connections for many years. Originally explored by the French beginning in the late 1600's. Their influence can still be seen in the names across the state.
@@reb1050 exactly. Arkansas was part of the Louisana purchase from France. The French had heavily explored the Mississippi River and its tributaries in Arkansas.
I lived there for a while. Never saw no monster...but did see alligators, panthers, bears, bobcats, and numerous other forms of wild critters over on Mercer Bayou (Boggy Creek area)
I hunt near big lake national wildlife refuge. The boat launch is named Bois D'Arc on the map. Where you see the big Brown sign to turn it says Bo Dock. Same thing
FAY ETTE VILLE boy idk what old farts y’all are getting these from but Dickson Waffle House didn’t go down for y’all to mispronounce Fayetteville like this
Missouri also has a Nevada pronounced like that... and I live by Fayetteville and I've never heard futville.... and a Bois D'ark is a southernish tree!
It was named by the French in honor of the NA tribes of the area and Kansas was named by English in honor of a different tribe which is why the names are pronounced different.
Bois D’Arc isn’t a town. It’s a creek and a small lake south of Hope. I have never even heard of a place name like that and I grew up there. Maybe there is.
Got a few and I live in the ArkLaTex. Fayetteville was wrong. I had friends that lived there, that’s not how they pronounced it. My daughters married name is McGehee, so I nailed that one! Great job! Did you know Fouke has its own swamp monster?
I have relatives that live in Rison, Arkansas, and I can vouch that NO ONE I've met in Arkansas, outside of Rison, has heard of it! I stopped in McGehee, and ate at a LITERAL roadside restaurant, it was apart of an automotive repair shop! I loved it (can't remember the name), the food was delicious and the people were friendly! I always get McGehee, Arkansas confused with Megargel, Alabama though! Thanks for another entertaining and educational video!
Not a lot of people have heard of Fouke, where I'm from, I was pleasantly surprised to see it included in this video. I got to a point where I was tired of people saying they never heard of it, so I would just say I was from the Texarkana area :)
Born in Fayetteville, raised in Fayetteville, and I pronounce it FAY-yet-vill. Everyone I know pronounces it that way unless they are making a joke. FET-vull... shenanigans!
I've only lived in Booneville, Arkansas for about 5 years and there are name of both towns and street signs that sounds like a drunk guy choking on a chicken bone had named them. But, I still love living here compared to where I was living last in Bells, Tennessee. Because nearby Jackson was going down hill fast with The Old Hickory Mall going all ghetto with them street walkers hooking all around and about to every car that drove by. The inside wasn't any better or cleaner either.
One of my Arkansas faves is Berryville. (Bar-vill). While I have never heard anyone pronounce Fayetteville the way you say is correct, I would not be surprised if some people did; however, they would be a distinct minority.
My grandmother came from a small town near Mountain Home. Technically she was born in a house that is now under Bull Shoals Lake. She always said she was born in Yellville but she did not pronounce it that way. And as for Fayetteville she pronounced it the way they said it was correct. My mom's entire family came from Newton County Arkansas Marion County Arkansas in a few others
Lifelong resident of Arkansas here: I've always heard "Opello" as "uh-fellow." "Fayetteville is "fay-it-ville." You want some weird Arkansas town pronunciation? Osceola, "aw-see-oh-la." Paragould, "Pair-uh-gold." El Dorado, "El duh-ray-doe." Van Buren, "Van-byur-in." Maumelle, "Maw-mel." (This next one isn't consistent around the state but:) Blytheville, Bly(Voiced "th" as in "This")-vuhl." Searcy, "sir-see." Monticello, "mawnt-uh-sell-oh." Mena, "mean-uh." Booneville, "Boon-vuhl." Vilonia, "ville-own-ya." Dewitt, "Duh-whit." Gentry, "Gin (as in the liquor)-tree." Pottsville, "pots-vuhl." At this point, I need to interject, you may notice a lot of these "ville"s being pronounced "vuhl." That isn't universal. Jacksonville, Fayetteville, Clarksville are all pronounced "ville" (as in "village"). It isn't exclusive to these either, there's no real method to the madness of figuring out which towns are "vuhl"s and which towns are "ville"s. Dumas, "Do-moss." These were all from the top 100 most populated cities. Past this, even I as a lifelong resident get to be unsure about a lot of them. I will say, "Guion" is pronounced "Guy-On." "Dierks" is "deer-ks." "Caddo Valley" is "Kay-doe valley." "Bauxite" is "Box-eyet."
They had already done south Carolina around March of this year just look up its a southern thing how to pronounce names south Carolina watch and enjoy 😊
In my entire existence as an ARKANSAN I have never. Ever. Ever. In my life heard anyone ever say the word Fayetteville the way you guys did. It is literally Fay-Ett-Vill. It’s also the coolest town ever.
Good ole Fouke...home of the Fouke Monster (in the movie, Legend of Boggy Creek) I lived there for a while and although I searched high and low in the Mercer Bayou/Boggy Creek area, I never ran across the monster. Snakes, alligators, panthers, and lots of wild game animals, yes...but no monster.
As a Fayetteville native, we hear a lot of how they pronounced but it is pronounced "Fay-it-ville"
Yeah, I'm from the Bentonville area, and the only people I've heard say it Fet-vuhl live over in Madison county! Lol
Yeah im from Springdale and ive only ever heard Fay-it-ville. No idea where they got fayt-Ville from
I live around there and I only hear it like that
They definitely got it from the people who say it fast, like faytville.
THANK YOU! I am from and have lived in the NWA area a good portion of my life and I have not once ever heard nor pronounced it "Fet-vuhl". EVER.
The 1st people that pronounced Fayetteville got it right. The pronunciation that they gave is BS
Agreed
Exactly
yeah the really tried to go deep southern on that
Yep.
I would also accept Fayettnaum.
I've heard it the way they called 'correct,' but usually the first way.
Ok i was born and raised in Arkansas and most of these towns I've never heard of. That being said they are wrong on how Fayetteville is pronounced.
Yep, the people got it right the first 6 time's
Ik right I was like what the fuck it’s Fayetteville
I’m from Sheridan Arkansas and even I thought it was pronounced “Fayetteville”
I’m from Fort Smith. Just moved to Van Buren
Yes, but also I'm from Mountain Home, which is in the same area as Gamaliel and Gepp.
Thankfully, those were done justice, which is good cause I consider those shibboleths. You have to either know someone from there or be from there to already know.
"Arkansas, it's a place. With people."
Official state slogan
@Audsquad_2010 Kemmer are you taking it like one?
Could be an insult, could just be a witty observation, you decide!
Hey. We have……….. stuff. Sort of. Not fort smith but tho
Actually its the “Natural State”
We also have mountains and lakes and like a million Walmarts
I've never heard some of these pronunciations and I'm from Arkansas 😂
I kno right, Born & Raised... I'm like where in the hell is these cities at?!
TheGreatXeno saame

As a current student at The University of Arkansas that pronunciation of Fayetteville is total bs😂 I’ve literally never heard anyone say it that way
I’m so glad other Uark students watch this channel too 😂😂

Seriously, 30 years here and I've never heard anyone pronounce it "Fet-Vuhl."
Ouachita! It's a river and a county in Arkansas. It should have been a bonus question.
I loved to see them pronounced that one!
@@robanybody3363 I still remember when Howard Cosell tried to pronounce Ouachita on Monday Night Football...Oh..shit..ah
It is also a school in friendship just past the river south of malvern and north of caddo valley
I dont think I remember really seeing this spelling before I was told how to pronounce it.
I grew up in Ouachita county. There is also Ouachita Baptist University in Arkadelphia.
Everyone who lives near Fayetteville pronounces it fay-ett-ville. Sooooo
Barney Fife, M.D All of us (Arkansans) pronounce it that way. I’ve never in my entire life heard it the way they pronounced it.
Barney Fife, M.D everyone in the whole state pronounces it that way whoever did this video didn’t do good enough research
In blytheville the only difference we make is we pronounce ville as vule which is how we pronounce bly-the-vule
I have never heard fayt-vul till this video. I live in Springdale and Ive always heard people pronounce it Fay-it-ville, even the people that live in Fayetteville pronounces it Fay-it-Ville.
Barney Fife, M.D
Agreed! 👍 not sure why they’re making it complicated????
When you live in Arkansas and have never heard of most of these and don't know how to pronounce any of these! Also it's Fay-it-ville
Yay! I’m so happy you guys are finally doing Arkansas😀😀😀
They didn’t ask the right Arkansans about Fayettrville. Fate- vul
Slap the person that told you that was how you pronounce Fayetteville. Fay- ette-ville. How easy is that?
Best comment 😂😂
No Fayetteville is actually how it’s spelled it’s ( Fay- it- vill) 🙂
Yea i have always called it that
I’ve always heard it pronounced Fay ut vull. (Relatives in Clarksville)
It does kind of depend on the person or where you come from but for me personally I say it (Fay- it-vill )of (Fay-UT-vill)
I have lived in NW Arkansas my entire almost 40 years of life, and have never heard of whatever city you are referring to with Faytvul or whatever y'all call it

Larry Hampton and Blytheville
BLeye-vull
Fayetteville is in North Carolina not South Carolina.
I was going to say BLYTHEVILLE, too!
I love hearing people visiting say Osceola. 😂😂
Lol im from Blytheville, Ar homegirl wasn't wrong, the "the" is silent. Its bly-ville.
Osceola is too easy because there's several cities in the US named after that particular native tribe. I think theres one in Iowa too.
I’d been waiting for the Arkansas episode for six months at least and I don’t know if I could be more disappointed. I love this channel but y’all phoned this one in.
Ain't every heard anyone pronounce Fayetteville like how they said it was its fay-uh-vul
You can say 'Fay et vill' or 'Fay et vuhl' but not whatever you had them trying to say......come on now.
Is Bellefonte really that hard to pronounce? Lol. We have towns called Bald Knob and Toad Suck, and I think that's more difficult to comprehend than how to pronounce Fayetteville, which isn't Fet-vul btw. Bless their hearts. 😂

Arkansas is famous. I mean it's for meth but at least it's something

Because you live in Fayetteville outside of fayetteville everybody says Fet vuhl
clay clay I’ve never lived near Fayetteville. Nobody says fet-vuhl
I love near Conway and I can confirm no one pronounces it “fet-vuhl” I have heard it “Fay-et-vuhl” though.
You need to get around the state more. 😉. I have always heard it that way.
Lol! I'm guessing they went over to Huntsville (the one in Arkansas) and asked for the pronunciation, of Fayetteville! LMFAOO
Not just there…other places call it that
I’ve spent a lot of time in Solgahachia, so glad to see it made the list! One of my favorites that usually doesn’t make these kinds of lists that I see is Bayou Meto, pronounced “buy-o meet-a.” Fun!
the blond woman reminds me of Angela from The Office
My sister and I have always said this!
Yes
Y’all did your best, we’re weird in Arkansas.

No we're not ..
The rest of the world is weird . We're normal. :-)
Lol, I am from the bootheel. Missouri is weirder lol they have a town called Cooter.

I'm from Montana and even I know they pronounce bois d'arc as bow-dark. It's another name for the osage orange tree.
Unfortunately Alot Of People Dont Know Of Our Native & French Origins. That's Where Alot Of Our Town Names Come From (If They Aren't Named After A Person Or Thing).
Arkansas really really wants to be French but we just gave up half way though all the words 😂

Reb Rearview 😂 yes I know. I had to Arkansas history at least once when I was in school.
Ok, literally no one calls it 'fet-vul''
Yes they do. I hear it all the time. Around the state people do. Fayetteville is full of out of state people and transplants.
@@cherylinman5873 Native Arkansan from the Ozarks and I've never heard that pronunciation.
That Arkansan comment reminded me of the fact that in some other countries, we’re called “United Statians”
Lol only in your mind, we are filthy americans all over the world
emily mulcahy No, I’m serious look it up
People say that is hard to pronounce Arkansas but then you get to the people who live in Arkansas and then they have to pronounce these towns xD
YAY y’all did Arkansas I live in Arkansas and I didn’t even now some of them myself btw I’m a Lonoke gurl UwU
I used to live there but moved to Sherwood recently
Pretty close you lol. I'm in Cabot
I'm in Searcy
I'm in Beebe. lol..my people.
What the heck was that “correct” pronunciation of Fayetteville??? That was 110% wrong.
The way the woman said Solgohachia fast sounded like "It's not like I hate you" 😂
Fouke, home of the Fouke Monster ya'll!! Legend of Boggy Creek! Oh yeah!!
I lived there for a while. Never saw no monster...but did see alligators, panthers, bears, bobcats, and numerous other forms of wild critters over on Mercer Bayou (Boggy Creek area)
Are you doing Missouri town names or is that too far north?
Probably not. Missouri is Midwest, right?
And Missouri was a neutral state, haha. Btw, do you pronounce Missouri's "Bois D' Arc" the same way as Arkansas'?
The Magnolia Project we are kinda both
Seth Copeland I honestly haven’t heard of that town until you said that so idk
How bout Koshkonong Mo....
I hunt near big lake national wildlife refuge. The boat launch is named Bois D'Arc on the map. Where you see the big Brown sign to turn it says Bo Dock. Same thing
The one between manila and dell
Finally. I’ve been waiting for this one for months.
Not even kidding! These videos are the best thing ever!
They all got Fayetteville right. That's how we say it.
FAY ETTE VILLE boy idk what old farts y’all are getting these from but Dickson Waffle House didn’t go down for y’all to mispronounce Fayetteville like this
Yes finally and you started with my home town of Gamaiela AR. Love you granny you said it perfectly
These are funny, but this is the funniest one so far! 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Y’all pronounce it the proper way I don’t😭🤚🏽 I’m from Arkansas btw
I was an exchange student in AR and by the time I first found out a few months in how Fayetteville was actually spelled I was absolutely dumbfounded.
Missouri also has a Nevada pronounced like that... and I live by Fayetteville and I've never heard futville.... and a Bois D'ark is a southernish tree!
Being from Arkansas this is funny as hell 😂😂😂😂🤦🏾♀️🤦🏾♀️🤦🏾♀️
i have lived in Arkansas for my entire life and i havent heard of almost any of these cities
From the state that sounds like it should be spelled A-r-e-c-a-n-s-a-w.
AMERICA EXPLAIN WHAT DO YOU MEAN IT'S ARKANSAS
It is illegal to mispronounced the word arkansas in arkansas. Ironically they all say illinoiz down there. ;)
It was named by the French in honor of the NA tribes of the area and Kansas was named by English in honor of a different tribe which is why the names are pronounced different.
Arkansas born & raised...this made me homesick 😭
I'm from Arkansas, an this was pretty doggone funny to watch ngl to ya 😂

Been in Arkansas since i was 6, and never heard of Bois D'Arc.
John w probably only when they get a bad weather warning. I’ve heard it a few times but we live outside Bossier City.
John w same
I've Heard Of Des Arc, But Not Bois D'arc.
Bois D’Arc isn’t a town. It’s a creek and a small lake south of Hope. I have never even heard of a place name like that and I grew up there. Maybe there is.
If y'all struggled that hard with Arkansas you'll hate Missouri. Kansas will also through y'all for a loop.
Here in Missouri, just to the north, we have both a Nevada and a Bois D'Arc that are both pronounced the same way as they are in Arkansas.
I love when they just make sh*t up & don’t even try😂😂😂
If and when you do Missouri, please ask where “Sue-Are-City” is. Please? It would make my day! Lol!

Can you please do new episodes on all states towns or all the other places world wise thanks. Keep up with the awesome content
When you drive into Arkansas from Oklahoma the Welcome sign says, "Welcome to Arkansas please set your clocks back 20 years."
It used to say we have real beer and Tattoos
I'm glad y'all finally did Arkansas but y'all messed up on Fayetteville you said how it's spelled
No one in Arkansas pronounces Fayetteville that way. We literally pronounce it the same as the rest of the south.
Ahh yes my state sounds like when a high person decides to read a shakespears play
As someone who lived in Fayetteville I can confirm it is pronounced exactly how its spelled
YAY!! Thank you for doing this!!💕
As a native Arkansan, I haven't been able to spell city names for a very long time.

They miss Arkadelphia and Prescott. Those can be very confusing for people who come to Arkansas for the first time.
true with Lafayette county too, most people mispronounce that one too
As am Arkansan who lived two towns over from Bellefonte, I can confirm, they pronounced it right.
