pronounce wyandotte

[PunkinPeep]

I love this thread.

I agree with Cynthia. But i also end up cutting out the middle syllable. In Texan, it's something like wahndot, but that's not right either.

I agree.
Wyandottes were developed in Wisconsin right? Ask some cheese heads.

Being a former cheese head I agree with Graceful Bantams for my 2 cents.

Everyone calls them wine dots around here.

Y-N-. or why-in-dot

I'm an ol' hotrodder from back in the old school days and they had a company that made intake manifolds called Weiand, its pronounced why-and. But you should've heard some of the conglomerations of names that little word invented.

Another one on here that gets a lot of unusual mispellings and absurd uses is Australorp, sometimes it's just best to smile and go on

"why" does not make any sense from a phonics standpoint. Both "dot" and "dote" do make sense.

I am so glad I'm not the only one with this problem. I hear it too many ways to know whats right, and I always want to add an extra syllable.

Being in Texas....I usually go with the wine dot version.
