There s a wide range of accents in Texas, including a rather generic American accent, especially in urban areas. Two major white accent divisions are West Texas, which is more like the John Wayne style Texan, and East Texas, which is more like H. Ross Perot, former presidential candidate from Texarkana. You will also have a more mellowed out West and East accent as you get further north toward Oklahoma. There s a basic African American Vernacular English for many blacks, and also for varied races in urban areas--it has a flavor of white-Texan to it. There are a lot of Mexan-Americans, and even a lot of the Caucasians in far west Texas, like in El Paso, and in far south Texas, such as down in McAllen, will speak with a bit of a Mexican accent. In addition, you ve got a little bit of Cajun in the far southeast, and there are lots of accents from all over the world, especially in urban areas.Damn right they talk funny.
No, not all Texans have a southern accent. I ve met some people who have lived in the Dallas area there whole lives and they don t have an accent. Some people have them in Texas, while others don t.
Im sure not all of the talk the same...also im kind of surprised that u think that just cuz u saw something on the internet that u think its true or that it applys to everyone
You think Texans talk funny.....you should hear the people in New York
