Need help with pronunciation.

Where is Caj when I need him? How does one pronounce "Tangipahoa" Parrish? Was looking at a obituary this morning and this Parrish was listed as the place of death.

Have a blessed day,

Leon

Real close, but that "a" is pronounced at the end as a short "a".
Tan-ji-pa-ho-a

Have driven through there a bunch of times.
Never the name of the Parish.
I’m still working on Spanish Names.
Like Mogollon.

Founded in 1876, Mogollon was named after Don Juan Ignacio Flores Mogollon, a governor of the Spanish province of New Mexico in the 1700's. The Spanish pronunciation is moh-goh-YOHN. The locals pronounce it muggy-YOHN.

Feeling cooped up with these stay at home orders?

We, especially my wife, does genealogy as a hobby, and sometimes the search leads to unusual places and names. We discovered a unusual place name close by the other day, "Fish Head", and it is still on some maps.

Have a blessed day,

Then just after you get in the groove that Spanish Js are usually pronounced as Hs, like the beautiful Jemez area NW of here , it’s Hay-maz,
You run into Jal.
So it’s Hal?
No!
It’s Jal! It’s not Spanish.
It’s actually a Ranch Brand, J A L.
