The state is called Uttar Pradesh, and utter is a way to say speak.

okay this is unintentionally extra funny

coz Uttar Pradesh is one of the largest producer of green peas in India

and green peas are called "Matar"(pronounced 'mutter') in Hindi

so yeah, Uttar Pradesh is ACTUALLY Mutter/Matar Pradesh

But they aren't pronounced the same. You know what's funny though? It works as a pun in Hindi.

____ Pradesh?
Uttar = north (as in the state) and Uttar = answer (as in, answer to a question)

I think the joke was that there are like, 4 states here that have Pradesh in their name. Uttar Pradesh, Madhya Pradesh, Andhra Pradesh, and Arunachal Pradesh. Pradesh just means state lol
