One of the greatest disappointments of modern information technology has been its inability to translate to and from the Texan language. Only the following words have so far been identified and translated from the troublesome Texan tongue. Unfortunately it doesn’t constitute an adequate language base to attempt any kind of automated or even manual service:

Yawl (believed to be) the second person singular pronoun; e.g. “Good to see yawl”

Awlyawl (b.t.b.) the second person plural pronoun; e.g. “Good to see awlyawl”

Fixin (b.t.b.) intending; e.g. “Ahm fixin to visit yawl”

Suede (b.t.b.) endearing; e.g. “Ain’t that jes too suede for wards?”

Far (b.t.b.) to shoot; e.g. “Stop or ah’m gonna far”
