I don’t know where you’re from but pecan trees are most common in the Deep South and none of us say PEE-can.


I am from South Georgia and that is how everyone says it down there.

Sometimes a cross between Bi-ah Ba-yuh. I can't type the exact sound.


I know what you are saying. It’s something after “Bye”, but nothing I can put into spelling. Not quite an “ah”.

But that is when I’m talking about a specific bayou, like Bayou Beoff.

When speaking generally it’s always bye - you.

And always puh-khan.

Jum bah lie ah
