113. Not all areas of Texas sound the same.

Austin folks resemble California. Just very mellow-- not much accent at all. I have TONS of people think I'm from California. I lived in Austin for over 20 years.

Dallas is pretty twangy. And annoying. I'll admit.

West Texas-- I could listen to West Texans all day. They have this wonderful, friendly DRAWL. Slow, comfortable, easy-going-- it makes me think of big skies, long highways, and Joe Ely.

East Texas have the very twangy annoying "Deep South" sound. If you hear soemthing you hate, 5 will get ya 10 it's from someone from around Tah-ler, and you are hearing an East Texas accent.

Scientific speak from a language afficionado and Texas native.
