Only the actual sound of the accent and a few different words. I have many Aussie and Kiwi friends and have no problem at all conversing with them.
Yes, Australian English and British English have some differences in vocabulary, pronunciation, and spelling. For example, Australians might say "thongs" instead of "flip-flops" and "biscuit" instead of "cookie." Additionally, some words are spelled differently, such as "colour" in British English and "color" in Australian English.
It isn't.Australians speak English. Although not the official language (Australia does not have an official language), English is the default language throughout the country. Australian English follows the same spelling patterns as UK English, rather than American English.
They are very different. The flag of the United Kingdom, which is referred to as the British flag, appears in the top left corner of the Australian flag. The rest of the Australian flag is blue and has some stars on it, including some representing the Southern Cross, which is a constellation, and the Commonwealth Star.
They were treated very well, given that the Australian Gold Rush occured in British colonies. The Chinese, on the other hand, were treated very poorly.
Yeah! He is British. He was born in Redditch, UK. February 1st 1994.
They would think that the mpire is very strong, and that the Australian are gaining support from the empire to make them more powerful.
No, even in a small country like the UK, the dialects spoken in Cornwall sounds very different from North Yorkshire, yet English is spoken in both counties.
The Hausa do not really interfere with the English. The English is a completely different culture and has very different beliefs than the English. The Hausa tribe is a very independent tribe and does not interfere with the English.
LOL - we don't write essays, but I will give you an explanation. Australia was first colonised by the British and they continued to have very strong ties with Britain. I'm not certain, but would guess that up until the 1950's almost all immigrants to Australia were from Britain.
Olde English is known for sounding very similar to modern English. This is because modern English was derived from Olde English and the British. Shakespeare is written in Olde English.
Americans tend to 'drop' their 'G' s very often and to have different pronunciation depending where in America they come from.
The British Empire was very expansive, and as a consequence, British culture and English language is still often a big part of those former colonies.
