I heard a caller and a DJ debate this over the radio once. It is Bah-GO-ta.
Bo-go-ta would be the capital of Colombia, the South American country.

Mostly everyone in this region of the country, IMO, says Ar-range when referring to the town, color, and fruit! Oar-range is common in other parts of the country.

I really don't know about that one, but it reminds me of Moonachie. The proper way to pronounce it is "Moon-ah-key", stressing that ah. |
