The Mirliton Pronunciation Project!

As many of you know, we have added the Mirliton Pronunciation button to the top of the page that gives you a link to how many well-known native Louisianians pronounce the word Mirliton. The link will take you to the first pronunciation of Lolis Eric Elie, then should proceed down the playlist. If it doesn’t simply click here for the whole playlist: How Do You Say MILRITON?

We have reached out to many more folks and hope to add to our list for Season 2. If you know of a Louisiana native that you would like to hear, say the word MIRLITON, simply send me an email at rpcajun2r@gmail.com and I will see what I can do.

Thank you also to Poppy Tooker for showcasing the project on her recent episode of Louisiana Eats!
