Stations: Here is the Minnesota Pronunciation Guide. For any additions or corrections: Call Jeff Baenen at AP Minneapolis at 1-800-552-7250 or (612) 332-2727 Or fax to (612) 342-5299 Or e-mail to jbaenen(at)ap.org

No hot links, no anything else.

So what's Minnesota Pronunciation Guide? Is this supposed to be a guide to saying the word Minnesota? Or does this state have its very own pronunciation protocol, somehow different from the other 49?
