I knew the right answer, but I admit your poll had me doubting it for a second so I looked it up to confirm.

[SixString]

3. Frankfort.

[Yavin4]

4. The capital of Kenutcky is pronounced, "Frankfort" n/t

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

5. Frankfort.

Pronounced frangk-fert.

[CBGLuthier]

6. While it is, of course, Frankfort, i am just glad for choice 3, the correct pronunciation of

Louisville, which you never hear from people who aren't from Kentucky.

[No Vested Interest]

9. Unless you live in a state bordering KY, and many of your newscasters live on

the KY side.

[malthaussen]

11. Eh, I pronounce it that way.

Never been to Kentucky in my life.

12. Your loss.

Most of the relatives I have in the world live in a holler in SE Kentucky outside of Barbourville.

[Liberal Jesus Freak]

15. Really?!?!

Ours live in Hazard and Elkhorn City

[CBGLuthier]

16. My dad was born in Hazard, but he grew up in cincinnati.

My mother's family are the ones that live down there in Knox county.

[Liberal Jesus Freak]

17. Hahaha!

There's a reason Cincinnati is considered "Northern Kentucky". We have family there, too

[CBGLuthier]

18. Oh yeah, I think a quarter of the people in Cincinnati are immigrants from Kentucky

Got lots of cousins on both sides there.

[KentuckyWoman]

25. I have people in "Hamiltucky"

And yes the Cincinnati is very Appalachian.

8. Pie

[jmowreader]

10. Sin-sun-nat-tee

Well, that's what the Cincinnati folks THINK...they don't know the difference between spaghetti sauce and chili, so they SURE as hell don't know they can't be the capital of a state they're not actually in.

[KamaAina]

13. FRANK-furt

[In_The_Wind]

14. I wonder how far one must drive from the capital for a donut-beer.
