Why do people say us Texans have a accent?

I'm from deep south ga and the way folks up here in Tennessee look at me when I talk is fucking hilarious..

Texan here living in Colorado. I get told every once in a while that I'll let my accent slip into a Southern one. I have no idea otherwise. I can't hear it myself. But I guess there's something there that people pick up on when you talk to them. It's amusing.

I had a coworker from Boston who I had no idea he was from there until I heard him pronounce garlic. He said it gahlic. It was trippy. Some things are just dead giveaways

there is a pretty distinct accent for texas. one for most places; the midwest is normally thought of by most americans as having very little accent.

I have a Tennessean accent but because I've lived in the north for the past few years, when I go home, people say it's northern.

It's a stereotype. But every state has some sort of accent and a different way of saying things.

Everyone has a accent to a point
