I lived in Austin for a while and the pronunciations were sometimes so totally mind boggling, that I wanted subtitles.
INPUT => (RULES-LESS TEXAN PROCESSOR) => OUTPUT
Gruene -> "GREEN"?!
Plano -> PLAY-NO (ok, so it's close to PLAH NO)
Llano -> LA-NO (LA as in lack, forget about the double L making a Y sound -- somehow different than rules for Plano)
Guadalupe -> GWAH DUH LOOP
"He didn't" -> EDEN ("He didn't do it" -> "Eden do it." Also SHEDEN.)
And my personal favorite
Manchaca -> "Man Shack" !!! WTF?! That's neither right nor moral.
That's not part of Texas.
It was tough, though, when I lived near Ft. Worth and tried to convince half my high school that Monticello wasn't Monty-sell-o.
