Bizzzzzon or Bison???

[horribilisfan8184]

English in ND is like Spanish in Mexico: their isolation from the mother tongue led to hick colloquialisms and pronunciations. Forgive them for their inbreeding.

I wonder how they pronounce it in Frisco?

Frizco. Fer sher.

I plugged Bison in the Oxford learners dictionary and they pronounce it wrong. I tried Missoula and its not in there? I've never heard anyone pronounce Missoula with the double ss with an s sound, only zz.

The Native American pronunciation of Missoula is totally different. It has some clicking sounds, and roughly translated, means "from the land of sky-blue waters, we ambush bison from the Hellgate Canyon."

This calls for "big g" to give his take.
