Lew-u-vul where I grew up.
Native Kentuckian here. It's
Lu-vull
I really don't know why Ken is asking Southrons. Louisville is not really in the South. I know they want to be, but it isn't really. Of course down here folks get suspicious of anything north of Birmingham.

What do you know? We had it right.

Why put all those letters if you refuse to pronounce them, Lawrence?

Which side was Kentucky on?
Two more Kentucky towns:
Versailles
Athens
How pronounced?
I was just joshing a bit re: Kentucky being in the South. That has been a debated issue for generations, even before the War. I gladly accept Kentucky.
Which side? both in reality. It was a border state and views ranged on both sides. Officially it was neutral. But, that didn't last long. One of the reasons that the fatalities were so high is that it sent a lot of men to both armies. If you check closely I think you will find that a great many of those deaths from Kentucky were 'irregulars'. There was a lot of partisan activity in both directions in Kentucky.
Everyone knows you pronounce Louisville as "loser" - as in, not going to win the NCAA tourney!
