Texas doesn't just have one accent, actually no state has just one accent type. It differs from north to south, to east and west. Or from city areas to country areas. Social and economical differences also affect accents as well as race.

[@swan4163]

Here's an interesting fact: There's a group of people in more rural/farm areas in California that have a sort of "Southern" accent. The reason for this is due to the migration of farmers from Oklahoma/Texas panhandle during the Dust Bowl of the 1920s (a large drought that forced people to leave, and most emigrated west to California). It's weird when you ask them where they're from, and the last place you expect them to say is California.

[@jerseydevs2000]

I once heard from the descendant of a Dust Bowl migrant family that the term "Okie" here in California is much like the N word: an offensive slur, but okay if you're "in group". I mentioned this to someone from Tulsa I worked with when I was overseas, and she was a bit shocked that this was the case... it's definitely a point of pride in Oklahoma itself.

Texas (like most states) has several different accents. That guy was from Houston or H-Town and sounds like the typical houstonian. Houston is often considered its own entity because the culture is so different than the rest of Texas. East Texas (think around Tyler) will have your sterotypical southern Texas accent.

[@swan4163]

There's also a difference between white/anglo, african-american, and latino accents in different places, which would confuse someone who isn't aware of that fact.

[@danbaker300]

Varies a lot depending on where in Texas. East Texas sounds fairly similar to the classic southern accent (Southeast sometimes has traces of Louisiana Cajun to it as well); the big cities tend to have somewhat muted accents (in part due to so many people moving in from all over); South Texas and West Texas have a bit more Hispanic influence.

So Millie is correct the HAWAIIAN pronunciation of Hawaii (HA-Y-EE) is pronounced Hawai’i. (HA-VY-EE). Yes, the letter W is pronounced as a V in hawaiian and yes there is a pause between both I’s.

[@Blondie42]

I am no expert, this comment is only on an observation basis. When I visited Hawaii I only ever heard it said as Ha-wa-ee Hawai'i. Never heard a v sound until watching Gabriel Iglesias' Hawaiian comedy special years after he did it/and I visited Honolulu.

I'm from Maine and did not recognize the accent he was using at first. He used the word Grinder for a sandwich and its a term I've never heard. Makes me think he may have been from down east Maine. It's a different accent then southern Maine.

[@lancani7756]

Yeah I'm from the Kennebec Valley area and he had a much thicker accent than most from around here.

[@stevenbest6408]

I really enjoyed this! The guy from Texas seems to have surprised you -- really laughed at your reactions. Here in Texas, we have a handful of accents that range from very rural to more urban to more western to ... well, you get the idea. I suppose this is owing to our size? Southern accents, in general, vary widely and are often starkly different, and trying to compare any of these to Texan is very tricky. I would've guess that guy was from Houston, just as he would probably guess that I'm from Dallas. I imagine it's similar to trying to deal with the many regional accents one find across the UK.

[@chrisscoleri2341]

The thing is some of these are accents which are a combination of regional and cultural accents. They are also making a lot of guesses based upon appearances, rather than diction. Like others have said, there are accent sub groups within states. I live in So Cal, and the accent varies between north and south and may be further sub-divided between cultural groups and primary language (which there are many) influence. I have relatives from Boston who sound like the Kennedys while the ones from South Boston and less diluted Irish heritage speak a little differently. I have a cousin in Louisiana with that accent, but his wife, who is Cajon, speaks with a very different, accent which is colored by her French language background and has a very driving, monotone presence. Those accents have been influenced by French, Spanish, Native American, English, Caribbean, and African accents, words, and phrasing. I have relatives on my wife's side from Oklahoma whom I have told, "I know we both speak English, but I have no idea what you just said. Oh, and the Hawaiian was easy to spot. Some of the words and most certainly, the syntax gave it right away. The fact she looks Polynesian (as opposed to Hispanic, Asian, etc.), was also a strong clue. And, Hawaiians are Hawaiians, not Samoans. Samoans live on Samoa. Polynesians are not a monolith, different languages, cultures, and so on. Fun game guys. I can't differentiate most UK accents, but I bet it's easy for you two.

[@renee176]

Lovely people remember everybody in that state may not have the exact same accent. Different areas of the same state may speak in different accents and have different slang words they use on the daily. But love watching you two come up with your guesses.. lol!

Houston is only 88 miles from the Louisiana border.

[@bradreeder7635]

Most Texans do NOT have a stereotypical Texas accent. East Texans have the strongest accent, but its more like Louisiana. It never ceases to amaze me ever time I travel, everyone expects me to walk off the plane in a ten-gallon hat, and spurs. I just tell them I left them in my Tesla after a hot yoga class, and some green tea. They usually don't get it, then ask where my gun is... (BTW, it's in the Tesla, too.) Bottom line is that there is an American accent noone talks about. I call it the "General American Accent" It is very plain, I would say about 80% of Texans use it. You can go anywhere in the USA, and hear the General American. Just turn on your local news.

[@MsXlr8urself]

Houston native here, in the larger metropolitan cities our accents aren't as thick as those that live in small owns. There's lots of transplants from all over the world that move to larger cities so the English will be more standard.

[@kateliza1000]

Lol Tennessee ranges from what I have heard you call general American to a deep southern drawl. But I think a lot of accents blend a bit because people travel a lot more than we use to in the past.

[@willfranklin5690]

The problem with saying "We'll get Texas" or "We'll get New York" is that there is not a singular accent that is "THE Texas accent" - the accents vary from region to region, from city to city, and from city to rural. What you're thinking of as the typical Texas accent really describes small-town or rural areas and is quickly disappearing throughout the rest of the state, particularly in more urban areas. As for New York, there are at least 5 different accents naturally occurring in the City, and they aren't even borough specific. The same variety is actually true in all areas of the US - what people consider "the accent" of that state or place varies greatly depending on how isolated the speaker may be (urban or rural) and can depend on where their ancestors are from - better off guessing where the person lived at the age when they were forming permanent teeth and speech patterns.

[@katiebeth8343]

Everyone thinks a New York accent is like Manhatten. But there are many different accents throughout the state. Here in Buffalo, NY our accent is nothing like NYC. So many accents in our Country.

Millie, while most of the cast of "Young Sheldon" are doing passable Texas accents, the only cast member actually from Texas is Montana Jordan, who plays Georgie. He's from small-town east Texas, but that's only one of many different Texas accents. Also, I lived in Hawai'i for a while, and locals tend to do a glottal stop before the final vowel sound, but sometimes they just won't, in order to be more understandable to mainlanders. Remember that accents develop in regions, not states, just as they do in the UK.

[@Devila103]

The Texas accent really freaked y’all out. 🤣 Houston is called the Bayou City because we have a lot of bayous throughout the huge metropolitan city. It’s one of the reasons we flood so often from hurricanes or heavy rains. Because it’s a metropolitan city, we have many different accents here. Millie, never judge an accent location by a television shows “location”. Most actors can’t get a correct Southern accent, much less one that matches a geographic location. FYI - “Young Sheldon” is supposed to be based in the Houston area, where Jim Parsons- aka adult Sheldon on “The Big Bang Theory”- is from. James, New Orleans is pronounced “N’orlins”. I’m originally from Louisiana. We only say OrLEANS when are talking about the street or the parish. (A parish is a county.) Hearing New OrLEANS really hurts our ears! 🤣

[@randalmayeux8880]

Louisiana has three major accents, the southern piney woods accent in North Louisiana, the French or Cajun accent of south Louisiana, and the accent from around the New Orleans area.

[@luke_cohen1]

I'm from Modesto, California myself (born and raised) so here's the situation on the local accent: In the Great Depression Era, a major drought struck the Southern Plains states of Texas, Oklahoma, Arkansas, and Kansas. This forced a lot of poor farmers from Oklahoma and Arkansas (the states that were hit the hardest to move west to California's Central Valley. These groups are called "Okies" (Oklahoma) and "Arkies" (Arkansas) and most of them settled in Bakersfield and the southern end of the Central Valley (this is where Bakersfield's Country Music scene comes from). Those that wanted somewhere less crowded drove as far North as they could on a single tank of gas which put them in Modesto (to be clear, these two groups are also locally known for being the Chavs/Trailer Trash of the area as well). This has lead to both regions having more of a Southern Twang in there speech patterns with the word "Y'all" being more prevalent compared to the rest of the state. Note: If you're wondering why Modesto doesn't have a country music scene, it's because the city is a lot closer to San Francisco (Modesto has a lot of Bay Area and Sacramento commuter residents) and it's local rap scene so Hick Hop (Moonshine Bandits are the most prominent example and I went to High School with one of the member's nephews) has become very common as a result. Also, the KZbinr "Casual Historian" is from Modesto (along with George Lucas and Jeremy Renner) and so he's a great example since his speech pattern is readily available on here.

[@danbaker300]

Most of these I got more clues from the words they used than the accent itself - Tennessee's choice of song was a dead giveaway (you will hear that song dozens of times at every University of Tennessee football game), the mention of the "bayou" was a pretty clear hint for Houston (could have been Louisiana too, but the pure Cajun accent is stronger than Houston; it would probably have had to be Baton Rouge or New Orleans). I didn't hit the exact state for most but was pretty close (I wasn't sure if the Chicago guy was from there or Wisconsin; Georgia was clearly southern but not so sure exactly where; Maine was clearly New England but I couldn't place the specific state). The hardest was definitely Ohio; the Pacific Northwest, northern Mountain West, and Midwest (apart from the Chicago/eastern Wisconsin accent and the "Fargo" North Woods accent) are really difficult for me to tell apart.

I got a mixed af accent. I lived 8 years in Connecticut with a Massachusetts/New York accent is the best way I can describe a Connecticut accent. Then 9 years in Florida, Orlando area which mixes a city/country feel together. And now I’m in Texas for 5 years where I hang around a lot of country. So I literally have a accent unlike anyone I come across other than northerners mixing with other southern state accents.

James said "milly, the mouse" and I thought "good nickname". Then he said "Sun stroke". New Channel name "Sunstoke and and Milly the Mouse"

The Tennessee gave it away easily by the song he sang

I'm actually from Tennessee, and every time he says "Tennessee," I cringe. Because in no way is that a Tennessee accent. I'm actually surprised Tennessee is on your mind so much. Most people (even Americans) don't really think about us unless they're talking about either Dolly Parton or Jack Daniels.

I'm from Chicago and being a large city, the accents vary. My Chicago accent is very different from his. Pretty much like New York, accents differ depending on where you live in the city

[@joshuawiedenbeck6944]

Likely due to the population size. If I remember correctly, Chicago has around 8 million people.

I am from Maine like the first fella, it's funny because people guess NY, MA, RI or CT. Most people forget about Maine..🤣

What you guys don't realize is race plays a big role in how people's accents are.

[@geedavia1785]

The Chgo accent was easy to pick up by this Chgo kid... But like the guy said- you gotta go *Deep* *Deep* into the pubs, taverns, vfw halls to find Chicagoans that speak like that now

[@MrPenguinLife]

For future reference, when guessing where people are from never guess Florida, as relatively few people are actually from there, instead lots of people move there after they retire, when they are beyond child bearing age.
