Re: Where did the Aussie accent come from?
I don't mind the accent, much less unappealing than seppo ones.
Those who reside down under, can you differentiate between strine accents from the various states? Just curious. |

Do you not understand that it can originate from the English accent without you hearing any English speak like an ozstraylian in England?
BTW there is quite a variation in Australian accents with regards to the amount of nasal and drawl. Is your husband a tradesman? No my husband is not a tradsesman and neither am I and I was asked on a daily basis in QLD whilst I was at work also. Are you saying that only tradesman say haaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaws it gaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaawwwwwwn |

"when the convicts were sent from the UK and the free settlers came over that they all spoke with an Australian accent" I discussed this with him for a while and he was adamant that the Australian accent has never evolved and has always sounded the way it does. So can anyone tell me does that mean that all the convicts that were deported spoke with Australian accents and all the convicts not deported didn't speak with Australian accents? The historian I spoke to in Canberra seemed to think so. |

Right if so when did we in the UK stop speaking Australian? Also does this mean that all the convicts were from London? Always knew that Tommy Steele spoke with a dodgy accent |

Re: Where did the Aussie accent come from?
Someone wrote a book on the subject recently I remember reading about. One of things it mentioned was that when certain words twanged in to an Australia like accent from the British one. Great lengths at school were made to stop the Australian accent from evolving.
QLD and WA have distinctive accepts or essentially a little slower. |
Re: Where did the Aussie accent come from?
Why do Canadians have pity much the same accent as people from the USA and not their own accent? and where did the American accent come from? the Irish?
