Juneau is the capital city of Alaska, USA. The name, borrowed from the Alaska Native Tlingit word Jasḵoo, is commonly pronounced as two syllables, roughly “juh-NO,” though speakers often voice the final /oʊ/ as a separate, subdued vowel. In English contexts, it denotes the place and associated governmental functions, and it’s frequently encountered in news, travel, and political discourse.
