Texas pronunciation guide

Joaquine-- Wauk--een

[Tubby]

There are many places in Texas that have Spanish, Indian and other exotic origins. Give me names and how it is pronounced locally.
for example: Mexia = muh HAY uh (all caps for accented syllable)

Mexia is about 10 miles from me. There's a lot of folks that call it: "ma HAIR"

Some will call it just like it's spelled: "MEX i a"
