    In the 1950s my great aunts and uncles who were all born in the 1890s and raised in western NY State called the Florida city Miami, "Myamma"  I don't know if it was an 1890s NY dialect or the pronunciation of the city's name by the two sisters who married and moved down to "Myamma" in the 1920s.  I can understand that Southern dialects would say Myamma but would have expected it in the North.  However, the more I think about it, they probably didn't travel back and forth between Miami and Buffalo much in the 1920s or make a lot of phone calls long distance either.  Oh, wait..., I just remembered the third sister who stayed up here telling me the story of how the whole family drove to Florida in the 1920's in a model-T and camped along the way.  The trip took several weeks.  So if they were all down there then they all got indoctrinated to the local pronunciation.  Ah ha! 

    Back in the 1920s, the only two communities that could be called cities in the penninsula part of Florida were "Tampa", and "Myamma". devil  Well, there was also Key West but that was in the sea halfway to Cuba and populated by fishermen and alcoholic writers.

     

    ...yeah born and raised in M'wakee, 'Scansen, (would travel down to Chacaga a lot),  spent a while in Nawlens Loos'ana, (occasionally visited Uewston) and now live in Or'gun.

    ...Thor's Day compliant. The Daz mobile app is a pain in the bum when trying to post on the forums as it will not let you separate paragraphs with blank lines. Hence in long posts everything gets mashed together in one block of text. Also, any time there is a message like "Draft Saved..." or that a new post was made to a subscribed thread, it plasters the popup right in the middle of the edit window over what you are entering.
