The dialect of Dallas stands within a transitional region between Inland Southern dialects of American English and Deep Southern (or simply Southern) dialects of American English. Contrary to most people's impressions from TV and movies, Texas is not one coherent dialect region, as Dallas has more in common linguistically with southern Missouri and Eastern Tennessee than it does with El Paso or Houston, as you can see in this map created by Rick Aschmann:Dialect map of the Inland SouthWhen Rick Aschmann created this dialect map (which you can view in its totality here: American English Dialects), he analyzed particular linguistic isoglosses (roughly, places where a particular linguistic feature occupies a particular place on a map) for each of the hundreds of little green dots shown here. What's peculiar about the Metroplex as opposed to every other part of Texas is that, although it was settled in the early 19th century (ca. 1830s) by people who were from the lower Midwest and upper South, it has had secondary in-migration by people further down the Brazos Valley who did not have the 'twang' that Midwesterners did (to speak very nontechnically). This is because lowland Southern accent and usage traditionally had higher prestige among Texans than Inland Midwestern-influenced accent (though this is changing; see my note at the end of this answer).Typical features of Inland Southern accent include:The use of y'all as the second person pronoun -- more than 90% of Southerners use it (and the other 10% are probably lying). When used with quantifiers, you don't say "all of you", you say "all of y'all" (which is the real evidence that this is now a distinct pronoun, not a contraction of 'you all'), and the possessive is y'all's, in casual speech, but your in slightly less casual speech. In (highly) formal speech, y'all is eschewed for standard you. This results in the following pattern: a two-way contrast of you~your (formal speech), a three-way contrast of you~y'all~your(sg. and pl.) (with strangers), and a four-way contrast you~y'all~your~y'all's (among friends and family).There are almost no idioms or turns of phrase that are unique to Texan English -- it is too far west and was settled too late -- but one is the use of be fixin' to to mean 'be about to, plan to'.Like other Southerners, Texans are/were traditionally fond of similes and metaphors: fat as a tub of lard, madder than a wet hen, sweatin' like a whore in church, colder than a witch's tit, dumb as a bag of rocks, faster than a knifefight in a phonebooth, drunk as Cooter Brown (someone who decided to stay drunk for the duration of the Civil War to avoid battle), tight as a tick, run like a scalded haint; like a cat on a hot tin roof; scarce as hen's teeth, etc.Most Texans are familiar with the usual Southern idioms, proverbs and sayings: that dog won't hunt (=be a non-starter, an obviously faulty endeavor); all hat and no cattle (=full of bluster); to be too big for your britches (= pretensious, conceited); to carry on (=to cause commotion); knee-high to a grasshopper (= to be very young); that dills my pickle (=that irritates me); hold your horses! (=stop everything); to have a mind to (=consider doing); to start an argument in an empty house (=be pointlessly argumentative); bless your heart! (= you are an idiot, but I like you anyway)A milder form of the Southern sound shift: the vowel in 'kid' sounds like 'kih-ud', the vowel in 'cad' sounds like 'keh-uhd', the vowel in 'made' sounds like the first vowel in 'cat' plus the vowel in 'seed', the vowels in 'ride', 'buy' and 'right' sound like 'rahd', 'bah', and 'raht', etc.You can read more about that here: American English Dialects. If that's a little abstruse for you, here's an interview with a woman from Alabama speaking very clear Inland Southern American English similar to that found among some older speakers in Dallas:Because Dallas is a transitional region, however, it might sound a little bit more like Ross Perot Jr (the son of the presidential candidate):The older generation of Texans preserves the distinction between /hw/ and /w/, so that wh-words like whales are distinct from w-words like Wales; younger speakers have generally collapsed this traditional distinction as Midwesterners have.Unlike Houston dialect, the vowels of horse and hoarse are distinct in Dallas;Basically everyone from Texas is rhotic -- they don't drop their r's like some people in Georgia or South Carolina;Older Texans use double modals like might could, might should, etc. Younger Texans generally do not use double modals.Lastly, but most importantly,it's important to repeat that all the major cities of Texas have witnessed massive immigration both from foreign countries and from other parts of the United States over the last 20-40 years, so the generalizations I mentioned above are only true for people over the age of about 40. People who are younger than this age sound like Midwesterners with a Southern tinge to their accent and usage (for example, just about everyone under 40 still says y'all).

The weight of all the additional traffic alone would tilt the Earth off of its axis and lead to the destruction of mankind.
