Language:
French, but St. Louis-style mangling
Additional Information:
Prior post on correct pronunciation is correct.
St Louisans commonly mispronounce names of French and German origin. To add to the challenge, the mispronunciation isn't consistent. Names of Native American origin are spelled phonetically but likely only resemble the original language (Meramec River.)
Other commonly mispronounced St. Louis place names: Gravois, Des Peres (city and river -- heck, it's not even a river!), Creve Coeur, Dunegant, St Francois (person and river), St. Louis.
Other Missouri names: Cortoix Creek, Nevada (city), New Madrid (city, fault line)
