Hi Dion, I own a 17mm Tokina AT-X prime with a diagonal view of 104 degrees. Its horizontal angle of view is 93 degrees. The problem is getting far enough back into the corner to actually see all 4 walls. Short of knocking a hole in the wall, the only success I've had is with a room with a corner window where I could stand outside the house and hold the camera inside (a bit tricky but it worked, but even then is wasn't great). You can't count on that very often though! In normal use you'll get most of the room in view or 3 walls (which may be what you're after). With a 19mm you can count on around 96 (or so (I think)) degrees of coverage diagonally, so I'd guess at around 85-86 degrees of horizontal view (less if it's not a true 19mm at the wide end - marketing divisions have been known to stretch the truth a little occasionally).
