Like, what's the Entish of human languages? Is it just Texan?
“You must understand, son, it takes a long time to say anything in Ol' Texan. And we never say anything unless it is worth taking a long time to say.”
So just like there's the Texan Drawl, the slow, drawn out way of speaking English, are there other languages that have speakers that just take their time and speak nice and slow as a dialect?
I was just thinking about Spanish and how most speakers are usually pretty quick about it. I'm wondering if there are any languages that are naturally slow.
