Before we get to our neighbors city that landed on the most mispronounced city name list, let us look at a couple of Montana's most mispronounced.

One of the most commonly mispronounced name in Montana is

Butte

It's like a running joke that people say Butte wrong, in fact I almost think people are mispronouncing it they wrong way just to make us Montanans mad.

Havre

As a Minnesota Vikings fan I blame Brett Favre and the Green Bay Packers for the reason no one can pronounce Havre right.

While those names might get a unique interpretation from outsiders when asked how they would pronounce them, the website Best Life Online did not think they deserved a place in the top 5 most mispronounced city names.

However, our neighbors in Idaho are home to the number 5 most mispronounced name in America.

This lakeside oasis, pronounced "Core Duhlane," is the name that French traders called the Native American tribe that lived in the area. The tribe's actual title was Schitsu'umsh.
