when you get into texas accents, they have difference all there own due to what region they come from,....tyler is considered east texas, and their accents are different from any other region in texas,....i'm an east texan,......
east texans have more of a drawl, and their voices tend do be softer (though i dont think my voice is soft at all,....) the letter 'i' often makes and 'a' sound,....so like,....'night' would be 'naht'
central texans have more of a clipped rythem,....
south texans are flat and can tend to be a bit nasal
west texans sound alot like south texans, only they all sound like they have dust in their throats,....i guess because they might
north texans have the least amount of twang, i always figured it was the yankee influence,....
you know, its also not just the way we say things that give us our accents, i think some of it is also our phraseing, things we say because they were passed down through the generations,.......i say old things all the time, some things i'm sure others would deam 'uneducated', but i dont think its that at all, i think its just the way i feel comfortable,......
