British accent is dead. Just learn Arabic and you're a modern Brit. Lol.

[@Reagan89]

Good luck! Just know that “howdy” you can throw out- we don’t really say it in Texas at all and I think if we do it is in jest. Come visit us when it cools off here- Texas is so hot right now.

[@emmarose6590]

Bless your heart is not an insult. I’m a fifth Gen Texan and I never grew up using it this way

[@dobber43]

Not really an Insult but more of an inclination that someone needs the blessing. Like if someone is bout to go do something stupid you'd say bless their heart as in they need it cause they're clearly stupid.

[@invictusbp1prop143]

Perhaps you grew up none the wiser because you never had opportunity to learn the true meaning due to your grandmothers not having the heart to tell you after saying it to you for so many years.

[@RazzBeri1]

"the distance to whatever I'm pointing to." that got me messed up

[@hamidrazgandhi8894]

I'm Persian but enjoy listening to the nuances between different southern accents. I can tell which city are my compatriots from based on the different accents they speak and dialects which are so distinct and interesting. local vernacular and dictions have diverged a lot through centuries

[@jondstewart]

The Texas accent in Austin died out after the Baby Boomers, unless you live in south Austin. As a kid in 1970’s and 1980’s NW Austin suburbs, most of us talked like nothing or from Southern California. Richard Linklatter has always been very realistic of his portrayal of younger folks in the Austin area.

[@DiscoverAustin]

Sadly, the cities were the first to go. Smaller towns are still holding on and I hope they continue to do so.

[@stellascott9552]

Hi

[@invictusbp1prop143]

Linkletter rules. Youre right tho. Austin turned into California and sounds like it. Gotta get further out west amongst the small towns, ranches, and dance halls n down into hunting ranch territory...or back over here round the piney woods.

[@mfdonjaco]

I have a slight accent from Austin. I did grow up in Oak Hill though

[@jondstewart]

@@mfdonjaco nice! I remember the Y Food Store there in the 70’s and 80’s and a huge Tom Thumb grocery store nearby.

You don't learn the Spanish that's used around here from any book. It's mixed up Informal border border Spanish with extra words emulating some English words and lots of profanity. An educated person who speaks proper Castilian Spanish may be fully unimpressed by it's use.

[@brownbear3166]

I have a weird mix of an Appalachian accent, and a Texan accent. My mom is from Appalachia and my dad is from texas, so I’ve picked up both accents and mixed them. I use y’all and other Texan words, but a also use pop as a word for soda.

is there a difference between the texas accent and the southern accent?

There are many similarities between the two, of course, since Texas is in the south, but there are definitely some things specific to Texas.

[@suellenhintz3939]

The State is so large there are a lot of accents. Actors never sound real, there’s East Texas, west Texas, big towns, small places, and we all sound different. Can’t box us in!

Just for your information not all Texan’s have a southern accent, own several firearms, drive a pickup truck, walk around with a cowboy hat and chew tobacco. There are lots of Texans who live in the larger cities who are nothing like this.

[@justicevanpool9025]

Bless your heart is not always an insult. For example it can be used endearingly toward small children you think are adorable, eg: " oh look at them, aren't they adorable! Bless their little hearts." Generally something that a grandmother might say. A mother might say this to her child who she lost lost track of for a long time to express relief and joy when the child finally reappears. I think that it is generally seen as an insult when directed towards adults in the proper context because of this patronizing. element.

In my opinion, people in Austin no longer sound like they are from Texas, they all Sound like transplants. This guy sounds like a transplant too, because I have heard very few people in my life say all y’all. Y’all is plural, it just means two or more.

Texans don’t use ALL y’all like that unless they are asking a question or bossing a group of people. Like, “ Are all y’all gonna go to my house? All y’all need to remember to blah blah blah. I know it seems insignificant but “ hey all y’all” as a greeting sounds weird. Nobody I can recall greets a group using all y’all. It’s just hey y’all no matter the amt of people if it’s over two people. But I feel like other states use y’all too don’t they? 😅
