Midwesterner here but if I try to say Dakota with a t sound, I feel like I'm doing a British accent or something.

- danans 5y agoAlso originally a midwestern. I've noticed that I and others with the accent also put a compensatory breathy h on the end of words like Dakota, and hence pronounce it "Dakodah". Often this results in a devoicing of that second "a". I've never seen any studies on that though.
