Top Mispronounced Towns That Show You’re Not From Oklahoma

If you're from Oklahoma originally, it's always easy to spot the recent transplants and newest members of the community by how they pronounce the town names.

For instance, those new to Southwest Oklahoma always refer to Cache as Cashay because that's the normal global pronunciation of the word, but it's actually pronounced Cash. The mistaken dialect is totally understandable and locals won't fault you for it the first time.

Oklahoma is full of oddly pronounced things, the towns being some of the most famously mispronounced names around.

While they may not all seem like a challenge, especially if you grew up here, the way Oklahomans speak is different is a fair assumption. Granted, the town names aren't nearly as challenging to guess at as some on the East Coast, but the struggle-bus travels through the Sooner State too.
