If you search Yahoo! for "Ouray Pronounced" you get 4,090 hits, and these iteration of how to pronounce the word:

  • Yoo-ray
  • oo-ray
  • you-ray
  • u-ray (found in "Biographical Dictionary of American-Indian History to 1900", published 2001)
  • your-ray
  • Yü-ray
  • U-TRAU
  • your-ay

The only dictionary that has a pronunciation is The Columbia Gazetteer of North America:

  • YUR-ai

The pronunciation should be in the articles with the name Ouray

Need a consensus, can anyone help? WikiDon 21:41, 7 August 2005 (UTC)[reply]


Most everyone around here pronounces it you-ray. Or, maybe something a tiny bit more like 'yer-ray'.
