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?
