Linguists have found that young people from Texas who actually have a drawl tend to have a positive view of living in Texas, while those who don't tend to have a negative view of living in Texas. I can see that being true because I grew up with a thick accent and have since dropped most of it because I hate living here and don't always want it to be obvious.
i live in texas i dont really have a strong texan accent i only have them on some words that i say like the number nine and birthday thoughs words you can hear my accent i dont have a huge accent so i dont believe in a texas accent
lol my family is from wichita falls and they all have a pretty strong accent so if someone it doing a "texas" accent obvs they mean the deep southern texan accent so yaaa
I have no idea what is difference the accent in the US. Because I'm Japanese. I here English accent in America is all the same. my english is terrible...
It depends on whether you're in or near a big city to a large extent. & then it depends on the culture of each town. Then also it has a good deal to do with the cultural background of a person. Someone who's lived in a small town in Texas all their life who's family for 2 or 3 genereations is also from that small town or people who's families have been in the farming or ranching business for several generations are almost definitly going to have an accent while pretty much everyone else doesn't.
I've lived in Texas all my life and only have the generic American accent.I think I have traces of an accent when I say certain words,but that's about it.I can't stand it,but hey.What can you do? :/
@realityfaithgod THANK YOU! you'd think with all the celebrities that have come out of the state (Beyonce, David Cook, Jennifer Garner, Patrick Swaze, Piper Perabo Jamie Foxx, and Chace Crawford) people would throw out their hundreds of years old stereotypes and realize Texas is a very industrial and diverse state that could even battle New York and Cali in those respects
From Texas (Dallas) as well, and I can't stand the way ppl from other states come up with their own stereotypes about Texas. I really haven't come across that many people with an southern drawl accent. I also laugh when people think of Texas as a bunch of farms and horses, and people with pickup trucks and guns.
My aunt has it. She wasn't even born here. Not sure how that happened. XDD I only get my accent when I actually talk about Texas - and I don't do it consciously.
@HtownTomboy Every region has its accent. Even General American is called "accent", have a look at Wikipedia! And she didn't say East Texas has a "country accent".
@Wandelbart i know every region has it's own accent, i never said they didnt, im just commenting about MY personal experierience in MY area of the region she's talking about.. and the accent she demonstrated is what a houstonian like myself would call a country accent i never said that SHE used the exact words but that's definitely what she demonstrated so this conversation isn't even necessary.........
The texans I've met, and I have some relatives in el paso, have an accent. Some stronger than others and sometimes only with the way they say certain words. But I wouldn't call any if it a "southern" accent. It would be Texan. :) usually can tell if the folks I'm meeting are from Texas, but sometimes not. Seems all states have various accents depending on the area people live in, even the life style they have.
@Jamesellis33 dude, seriously I'm not sure if your being sarcastic or not but either way don't say that, because it only makes you look ignorant. I also would like to ask have you ever been to Texas? If you haven't then please do not comment and making ignorant pointless slurs even if they are sarcastic. I for one am from Texas and believe me I have an accent but not particularly a strong southern one and I'm not a hillbilly or racist.
I'm from south east Texas and I don't have a southern accent either, well maybe slightly. Ahaha but ya people think we sound like bush or sandy from SpongeBob or Perry. -.- people really need to go to Texas and actually listen to the peoples accents there before the assume. But, as it is it depends on what area they are at.
TylerLambert is right. You must have been sheltered. Everyone I know has an accent. I was born and raised in North Texas and I have have an accent. Were your parents raised in Texas?
No surprise here. I used to live in Texas and the Austin area is the part of the Texas that is known for not having typical Texas accents or Texas culture anyway since it's full of immigrants and transplants from other states...
Once I started reading down the list of comments I got aggravated at all the people who are bein jerks but I wanted to comment anyway. Im originally from alabama but recently moved to texas and I think ur accent is just like mine. I also think I'm adjusting very well to my "learned" texas accent!! Love ur hair btw.
Thank you! When people find out I'm from Texas, their first response is always, "But you don't have an accent!" No... no I don't. I actually wish I did, because I love the Texas accents (well, all accents really), but I, as well as most of the people I know, don't actually have an accent beyond "North American". Personally speaking, I think it has a lot to do with television. I watched a lot growing up and even went through a phase where I pronounced "sorry" like Canadian! :-)
When I went to Los Angeles I was in the same taxi van thing as two people who had very southern accents that I've never actually heard in real life cuz I'm aussie :D
Thank you! All these people are making Texans look like idiots. Me and my Dad's side has got a pretty goodaccent but nothin' like in them other videos. so thank you for making this video so people know that when people portray us as idiots it is not how we really speak. I am a true Texan!
Its because Texas is not the Deep South. Its really a Western state, or the forefront of Western culture. East Texas is somewhat typically Southern. Most of Texans sound Midwestern or non-Southern. Texas really is a separate culture from the Old South.
All these damn hillbillies from texas have accents I don't know what the hell you guys are talking about. They don't sound normal too be I can detect the hillbilly out of those hillbillies. The got the racism down there pretty good still, thats how you know its filthy hillbilly land.
thanks for this video! I agree, I don't have an accent either. People comment on the fact that I don't (because I don't live in Texas now) even though I was born and lived in Texas until I was in my twenties. The only real telling trait I have is being unable to drop the 'y'all' as you mentioned.
I'm from Laredo, Texas born and raised, and no one talks like that. Then again I live with all the Mexicans, and some how I managed to keep the average American accent and kept out the disgusting Mexican-American accent.
i'm from north texas and i agree and disagree with what u have to say. YES, there are texans that have a deep accent but there are those that are NEW texans and dont have the accent. i've lived in texas since '94 and i dont have a strong accent but compared to people that never been to texas, i do
I totally agree with you and it annoys me to no end that everytime they show Texas on tv its always gotta be this Cowboy "howdy, yeehaw!" crap. Very few people actually conform to that image. And most people hear don't speak like the average non-Texan would probably think. For instance, we actually have a lot of different accents here in Dallas.
hi Megan! I'm from madagascar and i totally agree with you. recently there were a basket ball team from Texas came here .they have kinda the same accent as you. By the way can you make the really really deep southern accent. hope to see your next video soon
I think to really find the truest form of any accent of ANY culture....you have to go the ruralest or most poverty strickened area of that society and you will find the Rawest; barest of bones-accent. This is not a put down. For instance I live in Dallas, Tx to find the Texas accent go to Garland, Balch Springs (which are the outline areas). THats my humble ..but accurate opinion ;)
LOL @ a city born person saying people from Texas don't have accents. The Texan accent refers to people that live in the small parts and country parts of Texas, not the populated urban parts. I don't get the point of this video.
If you go to LA, Chicago, New York, Houston, Austin, or any other populated, major city in the US, we all sound pretty much the same, or with subtle differences.
We are from North Texas and my whole family has a Texas accent. Either you've been a sheltered little girl or your just ignorant.. Its not just people from East and South Texas that has an accent. So I guess that clears up what your trying say..
@TylerLambert96 Well I am a Honduran, have a Honduran accent, English is my fourth language and...my fourth language's spelling is way better than your attempt to type in standard English. It's "you're ignorant" not "your ignorant"; you say "it's" otherwise you're using a possessive. "People" is plural for person; therefore, "people HAVE an accent". Finally, "you're (or you are) trying to say" not "your trying say". Anyway, you should not talk about being educated.
@alexmejia26 You might have a sense of mechanics, but unfortunately it appears you have not taken logic. Its a logical fallacy of relevance to comment on someones grammar when it is not the subject of a premise. Thats not any way to make a useful or functional argument. Now it appears some individuals might have been fooled you said something with truthfunctional import, but all you did was predicate something else. Take a course on LOGIC to learn how to effectively create valid arguments.
@jamesellis33 Ohhhh my God!!!! look at him!!!! how cute, he just took Formal Logic 101!!!! awwwwwww, congratulations dude! I guess you must be the only person who knows about fallacies and as usual there's always that one guy who decides going out of the classroom acting smart and talking about all the cute Latin terms: "ad Hominem", "non sequitur", "petittio principii", etc (lol). Dude, seriuous...we (the educated people) have already been there...keep on learning from your book and congrats!
@jamesellis33 By the way, if you are so interested in responding to my comments and evaluating how good I was at Logic 101 you might want to go back and see to whom I responded and why. There was another smartass bashing this lady's video and claiming to be "educated" while misspelling words left and right; consequently, you can't talk about fallacies if you don't know what's the issue.
@TylerLambert96 nah, i agree w/ her 100%. i grew up in e. tx, lived in central tx, and am now in ft. worth. the good folks over in e. tx definitely have a more distinct classically southern accent than ppl in central or n. tx. but to be fair, accent perception can be subjective. all of my relatives in PA think my whole family has a tx accent, but ppl in e. tx think we sound like yankees (since we're originally from PA).
@TylerLambert96, and the creator of this video, I'm from grapevine, the airport town outside of Dallas, and most people I know have no accent, but I find no specific areas of Texas in which more or less people have a noticeable accent, except for the far west of Texas. That is all.
Yeah well, you may talk like that in Texas, but here in Alabama we all draw out our vowels as much as possible. It sounds especially nice being yelled at my neighbors from the front porch of my trailer! And we don't like black people either. Just ask anyone in the major media, they'll set you straight! 100% accurate!
@Arundodonax I don't appreciate the comment about black people. I have black family members so please keep that shit to yourself because it offends the fuck out of me.
@meganxannaliese Surely you know I was being sarcastic... right? Continuing on your theme of popular misconceptions about people from particular regions of the country...
@Mirozenx *rolls eyes* Ok well I've definitely learned from this experience. Never try to be droll or sarcastic when you comment on YouTube. People like this guy and apparently 19 others who thumbs-up'ed her initial response are just unwilling to think for more than two seconds about what somebody is actually saying. It's SARCASM. Damn, folks. Please see her and my responses, currently located on pp 7-8 of the comments... although I'm sure that will change soon.
im from texas and i dont think i have a texan accent but other people say i kinda do i just think it is the like things like sayin yall and droppin gs in "ing" words that makes it sound "texan" but yeah it does very from across the state to me you kinda sound like your from tx. than u said u were and it said alot so idk ha
Ikr! I've lived in Texas my whole life and i have only one friend who has a deep southern accent which stuck out here in Murphy. And only my aunts and uncles down in Houston have a little southern drawl when they speak. And at RebelStallion meganxannaliese is right, dude God gave you common sense, so use it ,if you were a real Texan you'd know what you just said was the most ignorant thing to say to a woman.
Hay so I came across this video somehow but u kinda sound like how I talk but I for one is not from Texas but my mother is I don't hear an accent my self but my friends do ( and I'm in Oregon) Maby if u went to a diffrent state not in the south u might notice Idk but
@RebelStallion For the millionth time, I DON'T live in Austin. I didn't even grow up in Austin, moron. And if you're such an expert on Texas then you should have been raised with some common southern courtesy and general respect for women, ASSHOLE.
My friends and I were trying to find videos of what our accents sound like and this was mine. The creepy part is that I am ALSO Megan, born in Houston, raised in Austin and currently living in College Station LOL.
I agree that a lot of the thicker accents can definitely be found in more of the countryside areas. I'm from Arkansas, so I hear the "typical" southern accent on a regular basis and I'm not too familiar with how it is in Texas. But speaking from personal experience, in the capital city, one would hear far less of that southern speech than outside of the metro area...wherever the metro is here. loL!
LMFAOOO HE SAID SHES A GOTH FUCK? her guages and peircing doesnt make her a goth you closed minded hick, im from san antonio texas currently in california, and most texans dont have an accent they just use diffrent words like she said yall isnt used in cali , theres no texcan accent some texans just wanna feel special like there different
I'm the same. I'm from Tennessee and yes there are areas with people that have thick southern drawls but for the most part it's as you said. Just certain words really. Oh, and sweet poster love the x-files
TheMarineKid17 is right. It is by region. We came from Arlington and I met people, despite being in the Northern part of Texas, with the southern accent. Also, you act like it's a bad thing. It's charming. The fact you don't have the accent just means you are from the city. Yes they say "ya'll" quite frequently. There is nothing wrong with it. Maybe if you get out of the burbs, you'll find the reason people think Texans have accents is because we fuckin' do. Stupid to make this video.
@ThePaperFalcon You've completely missed the point of this video, obviously. I never once bashed texas accents and I never implied that they were bad or inferior. There's no need to get offensive because the point of this video was not to make Texas accents out to be a bad thing.
If I knew you, and you were wearing tunnels. I'd probably try and see if I can fit my hand through your ears. I'm sorry, I'm just one of those annoying people that's fascinated by and plays with gauges. XD
This really does depend on what area I'm from Cleveland Texas and all the folks that I meet know immediately that I'm from Texas I'm in the airforce stationed in Germany the Germans know I'm a Texan
in big cities the people have no accents. try going to a small town and listen to them speak.
there is a difference between east, west, north, and south texas accents. austin and college staion are both college towns so of course you won't hear such accents
Linguists have found that young people from Texas who actually have a drawl tend to have a positive view of living in Texas, while those who don't tend to have a negative view of living in Texas. I can see that being true because I grew up with a thick accent and have since dropped most of it because I hate living here and don't always want it to be obvious.

I totally agree with you and it annoys me to no end that everytime they show Texas on tv its always gotta be this Cowboy "howdy, yeehaw!" crap. Very few people actually conform to that image. And most people hear don't speak like the average non-Texan would probably think. For instance, we actually have a lot of different accents here in Dallas.

I think to really find the truest form of any accent of ANY culture....you have to go the ruralest or most poverty strickened area of that society and you will find the Rawest; barest of bones-accent. This is not a put down. For instance I live in Dallas, Tx to find the Texas accent go to Garland, Balch Springs (which are the outline areas). THats my humble ..but accurate opinion ;)

LOL @ a city born person saying people from Texas don't have accents. The Texan accent refers to people that live in the small parts and country parts of Texas, not the populated urban parts. I don't get the point of this video.
If you go to LA, Chicago, New York, Houston, Austin, or any other populated, major city in the US, we all sound pretty much the same, or with subtle differences.

We are from North Texas and my whole family has a Texas accent. Either you've been a sheltered little girl or your just ignorant.. Its not just people from East and South Texas that has an accent. So I guess that clears up what your trying say..

@TylerLambert96 Well I am a Honduran, have a Honduran accent, English is my fourth language and...my fourth language's spelling is way better than your attempt to type in standard English. It's "you're ignorant" not "your ignorant"; you say "it's" otherwise you're using a possessive. "People" is plural for person; therefore, "people HAVE an accent". Finally, "you're (or you are) trying to say" not "your trying say". Anyway, you should not talk about being educated.
alexmejia26 3 months ago 8
@alexmejia26 You might have a sense of mechanics, but unfortunately it appears you have not taken logic. Its a logical fallacy of relevance to comment on someones grammar when it is not the subject of a premise. Thats not any way to make a useful or functional argument. Now it appears some individuals might have been fooled you said something with truthfunctional import, but all you did was predicate something else. Take a course on LOGIC to learn how to effectively create valid arguments.

@jamesellis33 Ohhhh my God!!!! look at him!!!! how cute, he just took Formal Logic 101!!!! awwwwwww, congratulations dude! I guess you must be the only person who knows about fallacies and as usual there's always that one guy who decides going out of the classroom acting smart and talking about all the cute Latin terms: "ad Hominem", "non sequitur", "petittio principii", etc (lol). Dude, seriuous...we (the educated people) have already been there...keep on learning from your book and congrats!
alexmejia26 2 months ago
@jamesellis33 By the way, if you are so interested in responding to my comments and evaluating how good I was at Logic 101 you might want to go back and see to whom I responded and why. There was another smartass bashing this lady's video and claiming to be "educated" while misspelling words left and right; consequently, you can't talk about fallacies if you don't know what's the issue.
alexmejia26 2 months ago
@TylerLambert96 nah, i agree w/ her 100%. i grew up in e. tx, lived in central tx, and am now in ft. worth. the good folks over in e. tx definitely have a more distinct classically southern accent than ppl in central or n. tx. but to be fair, accent perception can be subjective. all of my relatives in PA think my whole family has a tx accent, but ppl in e. tx think we sound like yankees (since we're originally from PA).

Yeah well, you may talk like that in Texas, but here in Alabama we all draw out our vowels as much as possible. It sounds especially nice being yelled at my neighbors from the front porch of my trailer! And we don't like black people either. Just ask anyone in the major media, they'll set you straight! 100% accurate!

Damn, folks. Please see her and my responses, currently located on pp 7-8 of the comments... although I'm sure that will change soon.

And only my aunts and uncles down in Houston have a little southern drawl when they speak. And at RebelStallion meganxannaliese is right, dude God gave you common sense, so use it ,if you were a real Texan you'd know what you just said was the most ignorant thing to say to a woman.

I agree that a lot of the thicker accents can definitely be found in more of the countryside areas. I'm from Arkansas, so I hear the "typical" southern accent on a regular basis and I'm not too familiar with how it is in Texas. But speaking from personal experience, in the capital city, one would hear far less of that southern speech than outside of the metro area...wherever the metro is here. loL!

TheMarineKid17 is right. It is by region. We came from Arlington and I met people, despite being in the Northern part of Texas, with the southern accent. Also, you act like it's a bad thing. It's charming. The fact you don't have the accent just means you are from the city. Yes they say "ya'll" quite frequently. There is nothing wrong with it. Maybe if you get out of the burbs, you'll find the reason people think Texans have accents is because we fuckin' do. Stupid to make this video.

in big cities the people have no accents. try going to a small town and listen to them speak.
there is a difference between east, west, north, and south texas accents. austin and college staion are both college towns so of course you won't hear such accents
