How do you pronounce Tchoutacabouffa River?
The word, the French spelling of an Indian name, is pronounced "CHOO-tah-kah-BUH-fuh", or locally as "CHOO-tah-kah-buff".
The Tchoutacabouffa River is a stream located in Harrison County, Mississippi. The river's mouth is located just north of the city of Biloxi at Biloxi Bay and south of Interstate 10, and it flows approximately 31 miles to the north.
Southern Mississippi art potter George E. Ohr, who worked in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, dug much of the clay he used for his works locally from the Tchoutacabouffa River. Tchoutacabouffa is the Biloxi tribe's word for "broken pot."

My family and I live in Pollock, La. We have crossed over this creek on I-10 many times on our way to Florida to vacation. Seems it would have some good Catfish in it.
Thank you for this pronunciation assistance!
