I noticed the BBC broadcasters had some trouble with that.
First it was: New Or-LEEENS'
Tonight some said New ORR'Leens
Maybe tomorrow they will say New Ahaw'-LeensWe need to get the Brits in here and teach them how to talk. :-). All Cajuns invited.

New awlins. The "r" is not pronounced. The accent is much like a New York accent.

Somewhere between New Orluns and New Orlins.
Emphasis on Or, luns sort of following behind.
Fema is long E.
Some people still say Awlins.
No New Orleanians says New Orleeenz. But it rhymes nicely.

It should of course be New Orlunz or New Orlinz.

I was at a benefit concert tonight. All the muscians from New Orleans said "new awlins"
However you pronouce it, it's a state of mind and I hope it will remain a place as well.

ps. Biloxi and Gulfport too... some of the best beaches in the country, I pray that they will overcome this disaster.
