    Ahem. I must step in and defend my home state! There’s usually no accent in the larger cities like Dallas, Austin and Houston. We do have some strange words and phrases though.

    The dead give away that someone is from Texas is how they say words that end with EN.

    I’ve known Texans that sound completely normal until you hear them ask you for a pin to give you their number or they tell you that it’s tin o’clock.

    I like southern accents from Georgia and Louisiana, they sound cool with the southern drool!

    Then how do you say ten?

    Also, I think the real giveaway with Texans is any word with two T’s. Button, Cotton, words like that. Button tends to become Budden. I actually get made fun of a lot because I know how to actually use my tongue to enunciate, unlike some texans.

    I pronounce ten how it’s spelled. Ten. With an eh sound in the middle and not an ih sound in the middle.

    Hmmm people say I say button weird. I don’t say it like that though. I think I put the emphasis on the wrong syllable or something.
