New page

The name of '''Louisiana''', the state in the USA, is pronounced 'loo-eeze-i-ANN-uh' ({{IPA|luË iËz Éª ËˆÃ¦ nÉ™}}).

::'''Louisiana''' is named after King [[King Louis#Louis XIV|Louis XIV]], who was on the French throne when the area was first being colonized by Europeans. The name remained when the USA, under President Thomas Jefferson, acquired the territory from France, under the Emperor [[Napoleon]], under the '''Louisiana Purchase ''', of 1803, for $15 million.

::::The pronunciation of two place-names in the USA other than '''Louisiana''' which are derived from the [[forename]] [[Louis]] may give trouble to speakers of British English: you may also want to see AWE's notes on '''[[Louisville]]''' and '''[[Saint Louis]]'''.
