Pronouncing the Word ‘Crayon’ Across America
You would think this art utensil might have a straightforward pronunciation, but no. It differs across the United States. This two-syllable word is broken down differently, with an emphasis on different syllables depending on the accent the person speaks in.
In the Southern states, where people’s tones are more laid-back, and people tend to draw out vowels, their second syllable is pronounced as “ahn.” However, for the vast majority of America, the second syllable is pronounced as “awn,” rhyming with the dawn.
