I'm not from Tish or Alcorn but relatively close. I have always pronounced it Jay-sin-tuh
Try explaining to someone that's not from MS that to drive from Clarksdale to Cleveland, you gotta drive through Alligator and Hushpuckena.
Grew up in NawlBenny so I know how to say Keownville. Good to have a fellow 2 time bulldog on here ….if you aren’t from out in the county
Also can't forget Brett Favre's hometown of Kiln, or you could also say, Brett Favor's hometown of Killin.
There was some famous Native American guy at the Neshoba County Fair one year in the 80’s. I guess he was in some movies or something. He spoke to the crowd after the stickball game, and he pronounced Bogue Chitto as any outsider would…. “BOgh CHITTO-O”. I love our pronunciations, but wish I knew which ones were truly accurate!
The dead giveaway one is Pass Christian. You couldn’t even try to pronounce that one as the locals do.

Yockanookany. It's a river that starts up in Attala Co. and flows into the Pearl above lowhead dam.
Chickasawhay River
Beat Four, not a town but a community named after the beat
Tokyo
Laurel, always thought it was funny the way people outside of Mississippi or the area say it.
Hundreds or Thousands, If you are from Wayne County you know what or where I’m talking about

Yocona. That's up there around Toccopola which, according to my rebelbearshark gf is pronounced Tocco-pola instead of Toc-copola like I say it. For rivers, I like the Yockanookany. Down were I grew up, we used to swim in the Okatoma pronounced locally as Oka-tomy.

Home to Hoover’s sauce. I don’t know how many generations deep Chinese family that have accents thicker than mine.

I lived next door to an old boy at Jones (before I went to State) that was from Clara in Wayne County, and that’s the only reason I know how to pronounce “Chickasawhay”
I’m not sure I know how to pronounce Gautier. I think it’s “Go shay”, but swear I’ve heard people from the coast call it “go-chay” and some from Wiggins pronounce it like Saucier.
Is black hawk not pronounced like it looks? I do know that Coila is named after them Australian bears.
Yeah it is, but no one that i know of has ever really referred to it as that, if you ask someone from that area where they live, most likely they will say beat four.
Yeah there’s a boat ramp that’s a frequented “spot” before you get to Clara on 63.
Curious, did he pronounce it like he was saying Clar-er , or did he add the uh as in Clar-uh
I have family from Clara. People from Clara believe that is Gods Country
