how do u prnounce the names of the states?

Question

'texas', 'detroit', 'los angeles'

Answer 1

Roughly:

TEK-suhz

Duh-TROYT (or Duh-CHROYT or DEE-chroyt)

Loss-ANN-juh-less

where 'uh' is the schwa or unstressed vowel

All approximations from a speaker from Michigan.

Detroit and Los Angeles are cities, not states. Texas, despite what some people may say, is a state and has been for 162 years.

Answer 2

"Texas" is pronounced by Americans as "TECK-suhz" .

"Detroit" is pronounced "Dee-TROYT", (or sometimes by blacks with the emphasis on the first syllable, "DEE-troyt" ).

"Los Angeles" is pronounced by Americans as "Loss ANN-jehl-ez " , with some people pronouncing it closer to "Lahs An-juh-luss "

Of course, Texas was originally "tejas" in Spanish. Detroit was originally French, and Los Angeles was Spanish.
