Discover the stories behind Florida's place names
Pronounce Florida explores the origins and correct pronunciation of place names throughout the state. Our interactive map shares stories for each location and lets you hear local pronunciations.
Built with Leaflet, JavaScript, HTML, CSS, and Bootstrap, the project highlights the linguistic and cultural diversity of Florida's geography.
Gemma Egan and Emily Mancha are gathering historical, cultural, and linguistic information on select place names across cities, towns, lakes, and rivers. They collect audio clips of native pronunciations and develop a publicly accessible map to share this information.
