It depends on who they spend time with when they're little. I was born in Texas, as were my two older brothers, and I moved to California for a few years with my mom when I was a kid, while my brothers stayed with their dad in Texas. We're all grown now, and I don't have any region-specific accent whatsoever. One of my brothers has a very thick Texas drawl, and the other brother has a slight Texas drawl, but it's not too obvious.

Just because you live in a particular state doesn't mean you will have an accent, I was born and raised in Texas and don't have an accent, some of the words that I use give me away now that I live in Iowa though. I once had a guy argue with me that I could not be from Texas because I didn't have an accent.

I'm fairly positive that location (air, environment, etc) has nothing to do with accent... it has everything to do with the accents of the people that you hang around. If people in a location speak a certain way, you'll probably that way. I was born in Chicago. I had familiy in TX & TN. When I came back from visiting them, I'd have a southern accent for a while. I've lived in TN now for 23 years and I have a Chicago/Tennessee accent. Many people can notice that I don't seem to have a northern or southern accent.

Texas is a big enough state to where folks from different parts of the state have different accents. I would imagine that anyone raised in Texas will have an accent of some sort.

you don't necessarily get an accent from the area you were born in. you get it from where you were raised and what you hear constantly. if you lived in NC for 20 years, and then moved to texas with your NC accent, you would eventually pick up the texas accent.

Both are country accents, but I think it depends on the kind you hear the most. I think everyone's accent changes several times in their life, depending if they hang with people with different accents all the time. If ya hang with someone, your bound to start talkin' like 'em soon, as they are too. =}

I would definitley say yes. Think about it. If you adopted a baby from say Germany and brought it to America or wherever you are from. Don't you think the baby after it has grown up would speak like americans and not a german? I have a cousin who is from Norway, but, lived in England. Next thing you know, she starts to talk like she's english! Funny how quick we pick up accents!

What difference are you trying to determine. Both have heavy country accents unless the person learns to speak more like broadcast - midwestern English.

that would depend on where you're from. If you're from a northern state you probably would notice the accent. NC is slow and sweet, TX is a little bit spicy but still southern.
