I've always called it Manshac, but then again I could never pronounce guacamole or Guadalupe as a kid either. It wasn't until I became an adult and realized where those names and words originated from that I started to make the switch. Still, honestly, I use Manshac and Manchaca almost universally. |
What's puzzled me more than the pronunciation of Manchaca is the fact that
Menchaca Elementary school is located at the start of
Manchaca road. I've always thought that one was a corruption of the other but they're both named after the same person.
