Pronunciation of words by Nebraskans

[Mierin]

No

Though there is a Sprague that's pronounced Spray-guh.

Maybe that’s the one I was thinking of. I know there is another one.

I still say people calling every brand of pop "Coke" is a hoax.  Nobody is that dumb.

My father in law lived in Mississippi and called it "coke"

Actual convo

He: Want something to drink?

Me: Yes, what do you have?

He: We have "coke"

Me: Sure, that sounds great

He: What kind?

Me: Just not diet. I hate how it tastes

He: OK, but what kind?

Took awhile, but figured out what was going on

Prague is another one. Isn’t it pronounced here to rhyme with stag?

I know people from Prague Ne and they pronounce it preg. So idk .
