Texas Almanac Pronunciation Guide
Texas’ rich cultural diversity is reflected nowhere
better than in the names of places. Standard
pronunciation is used in many cases, but purely
colloquial pronunciation often is used, too.
In the late 1940s, George Mitchel Stokes, a
graduate student at Baylor University, developed a
list of pronunciations of 2,300 place names across
the state.
Stokes earned his doctorate and eventually
served as director of the speech division in the
Communications Studies Department at Baylor
University. He retired in 1983.
In the following list based on Stokes longer

list, pronunciation is by respelling and diacritical
marking. Respelling is employed as follows: “ah”
as in the exclamation, ah, or the “o” in tot; “ee” as
in meet; “oo” as in moot; “yoo” as in use; “ow” as in
cow; “oi” as in oil; “uh” as in mud.
Note that ah, uh and the apostrophe(‘) are used
for varying degrees of neutral vowel sounds, the
apostrophe being used where the vowel is barely
sounded. Diacritical markings are used as follows:
b1le, b0d, l2t, r5se, r4ll, 7ak, brØd, føt.
The stressed syllable is capitalized. Secondary
stress is indicated by an underline as in Atascosa
