 The settlement history of the English @-@ speaking inner circle countries outside Britain helped level dialect distinctions and produce a koineised form of English in South Africa , Australia , and New Zealand . The majority of immigrants to the United States without British ancestry rapidly adopted English after arrival . Now the majority of the United States population are monolingual English speakers , although English has been given official status by only 30 of the 50 state governments of the US .

 The Spanish government believed that security would come with a larger population , but was unable to attract colonists from Spain or from other New World colonies .

The population was relatively stagnant , having grown only to 3 @,@ 169 individuals in 1790 from 3 @,@ 103 in 1777 . Over half of the population was classified as Spaniards , with settled Indians making up the next largest category . Blacks , mostly slaves , made up less than 1 % of the population in 1777 , and only 2 @.@ 2 % of the 1793 census . Over two @-@ thirds of the adults in Texas were married , and single men outnumbered single women , although there was a high percentage of widows . Intermarriage was fairly common , mostly between white men and women of mixed origin . Children from these unions often passed as whites . Illegitimate births increased steadily throughout the century , reaching 20 % of all births in 1799 . Despite the small population , however , Spain actively discouraged immigration to Texas , and a permanent garrison was placed in Nacogdoches in 1790 to keep foreigners from settling in the area . Immigrants from the United States were allowed to settle in Louisiana and Florida after taking an oath of allegiance , but were not required to convert to Roman Catholicism .

 Spanish control of Texas was followed by Mexican control of Texas , and it can be difficult to separate the Spanish and Mexican influences on the future state . The most obvious legacy is that of the language ; the state 's name comes from the Spanish rendering of an Indian word . Every major river in modern Texas , except the Red River , has a Spanish or Anglicized name , as do 42 of the state 's 254 counties and numerous towns also bear Spanish names . Even many of the words that have been incorporated into American English , such as barbecue , canyon , ranch , and plaza , come from Spanish words . An additional obvious legacy is that of Roman Catholicism . At the end of Spain 's reign over Texas , virtually all inhabitants practiced the Catholic religion , and it is still practiced in Texas by a large number of people . The Spanish missions built in San Antonio to convert Indians to Catholicism have been restored and are a National Historic Landmark .
