Ethnolinguistic Map of Native Texas Indians
When Europeans arrived in North America there were over 500 different languages spoken by American Indians. In Texas as its shown on this linguistic distribution map, seven different languages were spoken when the colonisation of southern territories started in 1500. Wars between the white men and natives caused mass migrations and after 300 years, there were new languages in Texas.
