How do you pronounce Wyandotte?

[Mrs.ChickChick]

I have 2 Silver-laced and 1 Golden-laced Wyandotte, sure would be nice if I knew the correct pronunciation, lol.

I alway thought it was why-ann-dot? If it's not, Id like to know too.

"Y-AN-DOT"

Hope that helps.

Depends on what part of the country you are from. I have always pronounced it wye-an-dote. Some pronounce it wye-an-dot.

wahy-uhn-dot or why-un dot

Um I think I always used to pronounce it wrong until I actually met chicken people one time. We always used to call them winn-a-dote (why - I don't know?), evidently other people call them wine-dot? I've only ever read the word until this past April and that was the first and only other time I had heard the word until today.

It's a native American name, if I'm not mistaken, pronounced WYE-un-dot, with the emphasis on the first syllable.
