"How to talk Texian" by a Yankee quotes Molly Ivins & other Texians http://www.nytimes.com/1984/07/22/magazine/on-language-how-to-talk-texian.html …
Nice, but I want to know how to pronounce "Texian"
Have heard Tex-EE-an but don't believe it was 19th century vernacular. Tekshuns? Compare Parisian, Tunisian. see http://texasalmanac.com/sites/default/files/images/Texian1858.pdf

Moderation is on. Apologies for any delays.

Before you speak, ask yourself if what you have to say will improve on silence.
