re: How do you pronounce “Sabine”

say bine

Former LSU player Nicky Savoie and others from South Lafourche say Sah-bean

There is a certain “ethnicity” in South Louisiana. They are referred to by some, even themselves as Sah beans. Lafourche and Terrebonne Parish people say it like this. Many are from Dulac,that’s why I said that they are made there. Texans and West Louisiana folk pronounce it Suh bean. Like the Sabine River and Sabine Pass.

I pronounce it “Heaven”, baw

Sah been or Sah bin

Just saying that different regions of the state pronounce it in different ways.

I never knew this was a thing until the last year or so. I’ve heard Suh-Bean (correct), Sah-Bean, and even Say-Bine.
