Arkansas Pronunciation Debate From 1844 to 1881
The record details how Senators Chester Ashley and Ambrose Sevier differed in pronouncing Arkansas. Sevier favored Arkansaw, Ashley the spelled form, with Vice Presidents recognizing both. In 1881 a legislative commission urged a French Indian origin, three syllables, three accents on first and last, and silent final g, deeming Arkansaw an innovation to discourage. The river name remains Arkansas or Arkansaw among residents.
