Some families have been in Texas for longer than Texas has been part of the U.S., and thus either speak only English, or use Spanish only as a second language. However, don’t assume that all Hispanic Texans speak Spanish. Spanish is also spoken by approximately one-third of the population, and it is the first language of many residents from the towns on the Mexican border. However, as with the rest of the United States, English is the predominant language of the state. Latino people of Texas identify as Tejano if their families were living in the state before the area was controlled by Anglo Americans. It is also a term used to identify natives, as opposed to newcomers, in the areas settled. Since the early 20th century, Tejano has been more broadly used to identify a Texan Mexican-American. In practice, many members of traditionally Tejano communities often have varying degrees of fluency in Spanish with some having virtually no Spanish proficiency, though they are still considered culturally part of the community. After settlers entered from the United States and gained the independence of the Republic of Texas, the term was applied to mostly Spanish-speaking Texans, Hispanicized Germans, and other Spanish-speaking residents. During the Spanish colonial era, the term was primarily applied to Spanish settlers of the region now known as the state of Texas (first it was part of New Spain and after 1821 it was part of Mexico). Historically, the Spanish term Tejano has been used to identify various groups of people. They may be of Criollo Spanish or Mexican American origin. The Tejanos/as (derived from “Tejas,” the Hasinais Indian name for “Texas,” meaning “friends” or “allies”) are residents of the state of Texas who are culturally descendants of the original Spanish-speaking settlers of Texas and northern Mexico.
