for a Kentuckian..... Frankfort is the capital! :)
But on to the pronunciation part: It's hard to explain - Loo' vuhl (only you kinda "swallow" the loo part..)
While we're on the topic of pronouncing cities - New Orleans is the other most mispronounced, I think.
Nor' lins is the "proper" way.... :)
