Languages in Nebraska
The vast majority of Nebraskans speak American English with a neutral "Standard Midwestern" accent. In some rural areas of the state, people speak with a slight accent best described as "country twang"; this accent is also easy to understand. Nebraska is largely devoid of unusual terms for everyday items, with a few exceptions:
Carbonated drinks are nearly universally referred to as pop.
Beer served from a keg at a bar is a draw; a half beer/half tomato juice drink in rural areas is a red draw.
The town of Norfolk is pronounced Norfork and the town of Beatrice is pronounced Bee-at'-riss
The town of Papillion is pronounced Pap-pill'-yun.
Nebraska has a fast-growing, Hispanic population, largely concentrated in its medium-sized cities and Omaha. In these areas, governments, businesses, and community organizations often provide services in Spanish.
