Yesterday I actually hear someone say "Nacogdoches" at a nearby table during breakfast! Pronounced just as it looks, apparently!
The "a" is short, "g" is silent, the "ch" is like "church", the emphasis falls on "do" and the "o" is long. (Na kuh DOE ches.)
Practice this, it doesn't come readily.
But then say it quick, and with authority, and no one will question you.
Mainly because no one else knows how to pronounce it.
