My grandparents came from Ireland and settled in Boston..I was clueless about the Irish settler's in Louisiana ☘️

tchoupitoulas: thank you. Texan here and tired of knowing I’m butchering this name every time I drive the city.

I know a guy in gentily that’s got corners where he slangs that Millie Bobby Brown

🇮🇪 love from Dublin Ireland

Very interesting information. Thank you. God bless you and be well.

There’s still potholes

I grew up in New Orleans up till right after the storm. Never heard of a Banquette. I know what a neutral ground is tho.

They did not get a better life. They lived in ha rsh conditions , and deadly pandemics killed thousands. AND then they were cannon fodder in the meat grinder of 1861 to 1865. Thousands of Nola Irish died, and thousands more suffered from wounds or in POW camps in the Civil War. Take care Erin go Braugh!!

Born & raised in New Orleans. I do remember my mom's great aunt who was born in 1900 calling a sidewalk a "banquette," but she was the only one, and none of us kids ever knew what she was talking about.

I’m outside of Louisiana, so I’m outside of the state I will say those two things

I’m looking at a city to move to for university I live in Texas so I’m just looking for places near me with a good music scene because once I move I plan to set up shop due to my degree being a audio/music degree

So band of heathens got it wrong?

New Orleeeeeens is how I say it in North Carolina

New orlins. We always said if you say leens you come from above I 10

I have fam who fled Haiti

I'm from SligoTown ☘️

I’m looking to move to New Orleans but I want to rent, not buy.

I guess after that, I shouldn't say this cause I'm not British. I'm from NY and CT and I grew up saying "New Or-leens." It's real hard to change how you say something after decades, even though I have been made fun of. I feel fake saying "New Or-lins." But maybe I'll just keep saying it that way and eventually it'll feel natural. Now I need more opportunities to say it!

iDK HOW YOU found my song Breathe Easy but it fits so good <3 I'm from new Orleans as well so this is awesome :)!

Ron Chapman knows everything about everything with new Orleans specially good Ole Chalmette...

It's amazing watching these old videos or pictures here without People being robbed...

I heard that The African Slaves would target the Irish servants, by rolling the bales of cotton from the levee , to hit the Men loading the cotton on the ship.

FCK! ive been saying it correctly and the fking tv presenter in our country was like OR-LEEEEEEEENS! mother father!

NOBODY from New Orleans born and raised especially the ones outta Iberville and St. Benard where the accent is really heavy pronounces it 'Nawlins'...black white or creole!! Stop believing that fake ass bulls#!+ you see on TV!!! 🙄

I’ve been saying it wrong too. I’m from NC. When you live in an area, you know how to pronounce the names of towns/cities, so it doesn’t bother me when someone pronounces a word wrong. You can’t know how to pronounce every city properly, especially when everyone around you is saying it wrong too.

I lived on Paris Avenue years ago nothing but love for Gentilly

I learned to say New Orleans from listening to Fats Domino singing his tune "Walkin' to New Orleans." Something like New Or lons, or lins, older I thought I was saying it wrong and it should have been New Or leans (as in leaning against the wall)

Maaan, this is why I LOVE this doggone country! The diversity of culture, music, pronunciations, accents, food, you name it! My family is from Orleans and Jefferson Parishes, but growing up as a military brat, I never really learned much of the culture of southeast Louisiana until my late teens or so. I lived in Georgia, North Carolina, then South Carolina from when I was 8 to 26 years old. I live in California now, and man, people have a truly different view on what they might believe "The South" is. Louisiana (and I'll throw in a good portion of Mississippi for good measure) is definitely the one state of the South that truly stands out in almost every way, while still being considered part of the South. It's chaotic, and some might even call it messy, but I tell you what, you'll have some of the best food and street jazz performances this country has to offer! If you also wanna have a REALLY good time, go to any populated bar in downtown New Orleans and watch a Saints game. Even if you might not be a fan, you'll quickly learn to love 'em LOL! I've been to Atlanta, Charlotte, Los Angeles, Tampa, Houston, and a lot of other places with NFL teams, but New Orleans is TRULY a place where the Saints are a part of their way of life, and it's the most beautiful and synergizing relationships I've ever seen between a professional sports team and its home fans.

Every city should have an Edward Branley

idgaf what he says, i'm sayin' nawlins

This brief video is fascinating and should be 10 times longer - thank you very much!

1:32 I totally thought he had one arm at the start of the video. Twist of the century.

My old neighborhood. How I miss it ❤️

Many old uptowners say, "New Aw-yunz," but please remember, it's always "Or-leenz Parish." Btw, Grandma, who would have been 131 years old this year, always called the sidewalk "the bank-it," never ""bank-wet." The front steps was "the stoop," the front room was "the parlor," and a barroom was "a beer parlor."

"you're from the channel, the irish channel...I can tell by the smile on your face"

Whenever people say nawlins or new orleens i just laugh and make fun of them. And tell them if you can't say it right then just say crescent city

I'm a second-generation, native Southern Californian (Los Angeles, to be exact) and I've lived in New Orleans for a year and a half. I have NEVER said "New Orleenz"... I've always said "New Orlins".

Everytime someone says Nawlins, we get another pothole

Duhhhh. Its supposed to be pronounced NEW OR LAY ON. its a french city. Dem people just aint know how to talk.

“Banquette” is French for an upholstered indoor bench.

I lived on the corner of Tchoupitoulas and Soraparu in the Irish Channel! Have your out of town guests try and pronounce those streets to their Uber driver, lol.

I am from New Orleans, born and raised right near City Park in Faubourg St John and I say New Orleans (New Or-lee-uns) like I was taught. My great grandparents and other respected elders in my family and friends used all of the great local colloquialisms that are long gone like banquette (sidewalk) and gallery(porch). They were neither cajun nor yats also distinct accents. I learned from them and said things that way too until I got to high school and no one else was carrying on those small but wonderful traditions. When I was growing up every neighborhood had its own distinct dialect. You could always tell what part of town someone came from just by speaking to them. Now with all of the transients and transplants no one sounds like they’re from New Orleans anymore. Cultural heritage and tradition is almost totally gone. Sadly, once the older New Orleanians are all gone there will be no one left to carry on whats left of our wonderful heritage.

I need this video to be longer!!

Godblesstheirishlikeme

Music. 🤪

New Orlense 😈 1:05

This man is damm tired of re explaining himself. No one gets that wound up over explaining a word lol. I feel like people always asked him and one night a buddy jokingly asked how to say New Orleans and he turned slowly, turning red, trembling a bit and said "Damn it Bill! I told you I'm tired of that question! Get the camera! I'm making a video about it and ending this."

The french quarter made by Spain.

Nova Avrelianorvm. Fight me.

“N’orlens” is how my family said it. (From there)
