Texan accent
Lone Star speech
A Texan accent is the distinctive way English is spoken in Texas, characterized by drawn-out vowels, dropped g's in words ending in -ing, and expressions like y'all and fixin' to.
The accent varies across the state—East Texas sounds more Southern, while West Texas has its own twang.
She still has a Texan accent even after twenty years in New York.
