Tbh, I’ve heard more y’alls in the San Francisco Bay Area than in Texas (I’ve live din both). Granted I lived in an immigrant-heavy place in Texas that I didn’t even live in for that long.

Not to mention linguists. I read a book (Because Internet, by Gretchen McCulloch, great read) that cited many studies that used Twitter as their primary source. Basically, the linguists used Tweets as a way to understand how people talk causally on the internet; what is more causal than a Tweet?

Phew, that makes a bit more sense. Still, I haven’t really heard this set of events before, and I’m Indian. Anything I could see for further info?

Are you talking about the Aryan Invasion theory?
