How do you pronounce ROSHOLT?
 This is a crazy question - but we live on a street called Rosholt Loop in Colorado Springs, CO and none of our neighbors seems to know how to pronounce "Rosholt" correctly. Any help from our friends in South Dakota would be appreciated. Thanks!

Your welcome.
Are you sure the name is from the town in SD? That's a pretty neat thing if it is.

Some seem to think there is a variable different parts of this state. I have always heard it pronounced raw-shalt. So either we both have an accent or just I do. Maybe my ears have failed me. Maybe it was the german neighbors. I have no explanation, just repeating what I have heard. lol

True... There is big german population in SD...
It reminds me of a major street in Sioux Falls... Kiwanis Avenue
Some people say "Kee-ah-wahn-is" instead of "Kih-wahn-is"
Just one of those weird pronunciation things
