Yes, I've been planning a Fantasy Western set in early 1900s New Mexico and have been looking for examples of New Mexico twang in order to present the dialogue in the most efficient way a guy from Chicago can lol. So yeah any help or resources you could point me to would be greatly appreciated!

I spent some time in New Mexico a number of years ago. I don't recall any particular "sound" to the speech other than the heavy influence of Spanish. Many New Mexicans are tri-lingual - English, Spanish, and Native American - either Tewa, Tiwa, or Keresan (possibly some others too). Puma
