Speaking Kiwi
Found this, slightly different to the usual one of these that kicks around, thought it was quite amusing in places, dissapointed that Munce isn't on there though

Excellent! My husband and I we're fascinated by the kiwi's speech. We thought it was a bit of a south african, australian mix.... Whatever we love it and quite regularly enjoy a fush & chup dinner since our return home

Re: Speaking Kiwi
Enjoyed that!
I stayed with my son in Wellington for four months this year and he warned me, "don`t try to speak like the Kiwis, they will think you are taking the mickey" My biggest mistake, and I blush at the thought, is asking some people in NZ, "are you Australian!?" The NZ accent is not like the Aussie one at all, once I got to know people and chatted to them I realised it was the vowels which made the NZ accent what it is.
One poster said they thought the Kiwi accent was similar to the South African, I have also thought that.

Re: Speaking Kiwi
Come off it....
It is like Australian.
I still get them confused after 3 years here (on and off).
The vowel thing is a red herring (rud hirring) because most of the time it's more subtle than the headlines suggest.

Re: Speaking Kiwi
Thanks Will,
Well, if you have been there for three years and are still confused, I can be forgiven, my son has been there for thirteen years so perhaps he`s had more time to get it right.
One lady I met in the eye clinic on Cuba Street I spoke to was born in Australia but moved to Wellington when she got married many years ago, so she had a mixture of both accents.

Re: Speaking Kiwi
I met a woman at work the other week...didn't know her from Adam....a real soft accent...Aussie or Kiwi......Kiwi I thought, but knew just not to ask. I eventually got the subject round to where she was from....Bleddy Adelaide but been here (UK) for years. Its the same with Canadians and yanks, I can just about spot the difference but would never try and sound clever by asking...Ho Humm! I on the tuther hand spakes the Quean's inglish
