It depends.
Arkansas is normally pronounced 'Ar kan saw, with one exception.
The Arkansas river flows through the state of Kansas, and while it is
within the Kansas borders, it's referred to as the Ar 'kan sas River.
At least, that's what I learned in grade school in Overland Park, Kansas.

Hi,
P.S.: the above comment intuited from the fact that Brits pronounce
the name "Cholmondelay" as "Chumley," "Worcestershire" as "Wooster,"
etc. ;-) ;-) ;-)
Hmmmmm, and how was it again that the name "Arkansas" is pronounced ? ;)))
Cheers!
