Do you pronounce new orleans as new orl-eeeea-ns or as new or-li-ns?

How do the french pronounce it?

That's how you would hear it from most natives there though. Just sayin'.

True natives say New Or-lee-uns. In French, it is la Nouvelle Orleans, with an accent aigu over the e.

Natives do not say Nawlins. People from the Midwest say it that way because they think it is correct, but it is not. No one says that.
