The people from west Texas have kind of a twang and tend to shorten words. Pliers becomes Plars. In east Texas there's a drawl and words tend to get longer. Rest area becomes Ray-est A-ah-ree-a. Most of the people in south Texas speak Spanish.

Have you ever talked to people from south or west Texas?
