It's an interesting one as it seems to be a universal accent amongst alot of gay men but non existent in gay women. No clue if that'd be of interest or if it passes as an acceptable topic these days either though 🤔

As a native Australian I'll add that Australians usually don't speak just one variation of Australian English. Instead they will often modulate their position on the Broad-General-Cultivated spectrum to suit the situation. Individuals may not use the entire range, but they definitely have a range. Another thing I will add is that I have always believed that Aboriginal Australians have influenced our accent to a significant degree. It is something I believed even before I started looking at Linguistics. In particular the way Aboriginal Australians use vowel sounds (disclaimer: there are well over a hundred different Aboriginal languages and language groups in Australia. I'm generalising hugely.) in a long, flat way have influenced the accent.

@The505Guys while yes, there was a fair bit of separatism legally in Australia for aboriginal people up until 1967, in regional areas that separatism didn’t extend to socialisation through work or in communities. Aboriginal Australians still worked alongside people like station owners, as well as interacting in smaller towns. Aboriginal people learned English but still spoke with their own accent. So, due to the human penchant for taking on traits of accents, probably as a way to ingratiate oneself to a particular group, is it surprising that there’s some influence of the indigenous English accent on the wider population in those areas?

The main difference between the two accents comes from the high level of immigration to Australia from London and Ireland, particularly in the mid-nineteenth century, whereas the Kiwi accent is more heavily influenced by immigrants from the north of England Scotland. In the South Island in particular, many words and sounds are direct implants from the Scots (Lallans) dialect/language.

My accent as a West Aussie is pretty British, as I had a lot of Pom friends as a kid, but some bits are americanised thanks to KZitem, and when I yell at someone my Afrikaans accent comes through. The Aussie accent is so fluid without a native language to back it up that a single person’s pronunciation will likely vary wildly from word to word.

I find Sydney accents are much more pronounced because it has the strongest example of segregation/ethnic enclaves and class division than any other Australian city. Accents are more easily created in areas with concentrated ethnic groups, and immigrants tend to stay where it is cheaper - in the West. Bankstown natives sound nothing like a person from the North Shore, and they sound nothing like a someone from Penrith.

It's no accident that Sth AFR, Aussies and Kiwis have a similar accent even though we are thousands of miles apart. When the colonies were new, the teachers in the schools mainly came from Scotland, England and Germany. There was a great confusion initially with the children on how to speak and it simply morphed into the current accent. There is a wonderful documentary called "The Story of English." It's about 20 years old. It explains this phenomenon and the reason for it.

There's more accents in Australia. You've got country accents and city accents. Each country town varies slightly, I can pick up on it as I've lived in Melbourne for 7 years. Even within Melbourne the accents vary between suburbs. The western suburbs of Melbourne have a mix between South East Asian, Australian and Arab/ Leb. As you get towards the inner-north, the accent varies from wannabe posh to Leb/ Greek/ Wog. I can instantly tell when someone is from the north western suburbs of Melbourne, they're usually Australian born with Viet or Chinese background but their accents are all the same. Then you've got people from SA, mostly Adelaide who sound more English than Australian. QLD'rs sound more bogan, same with the NT. I've moved all around Australia and in the past 6 years, my accent and the way I talk has changed based on the people I hang around with. I drop a lot of "t" sounds and merge a bunch of words together, I didn't used to do that but it's just a habit now.

It is not entirely accurate to say there’s no dialects based on geography in Australia. I’m from South Australia and we have very different pronunciation of English. So much so that when we travel interstate in our own country, we will be confused as coming from overseas. The history of the South Australian accent is slightly long, but is related to the fact that South Australia was set up as a free colony rather than as a penal one. Our dialect is what you called cultivated, but I don’t like that term as it sounds like we are putting it on. It’s just how we speak. Safe to say, we do get made fun of for sounding posh, but we get a lot of jobs as newsreaders throughout the country.

In the 19th century, it wasn't called "RP" (Received Pronunciation), because radio & TV weren't around yet. Back then, it may have been known as a "Transatlantic Accent". It's genisis was in the theatre, so audiences all around the British Empire & other English speaking countries, such as the United States (Why it's called "Transatlantic"), could understand stage actors. In the 19th century, it became stylish for college students to speak this way. It sort of spread out of various Drama Departments in colleges in England, such as Oxford or Cambrigde over to ones in the US, such as Harvard & Yale. BBC English or Received Pronunciation (RP), doesn't sound as "posh" as Transatlantic. Transatlantic is what actors who went to RADA sound like. At leasts ones trained up through the 1970's. RP was developed in the 1930's & '40's for radio &:TV broadcasting by the BBC. It was more specific to England, than Transatlantic which was meant to be understood by English speakers Worldwide.

Transatlantic is why so many US movies from the 1930s just seem so weird. And FDR? Was that really how he spoke or was he doing Transatlantic? I can assure you that the way LBJ spoke was real. You can still hear it today in central Texas. Nixon seems plausible, Cater was real too. I've heard non-rhotic Coastal Southern accents with my own ears, though this accent has almost been displaced with the Inland dialect.

@@jayceepooze I think so. RP is more British Isles centric, while Transatlantic sounds half American.

Fun fact: the modern Australian accent was also inspired by the Americans coming over from the war. While Australians at the time didn't like the Americans, their diction changed as a result. Prior to this, British visitors remarked that the Australian accent at the time was far more pleasant than their own, and believed some of the words that developed in Australia were very elegant by comparison. The word "ta", meaning, "thank you", was a prime example.

By 1800 the Australian accent was commented on by each successive governor, generally amongst children born there. It’s a process known as levelling, where people of different accents develop their own to be readily understood.

Our Australian accent is mostly highly influenced by the Aboriginal accent and much less so from other accents. Watch Aboriginal videos and you will see what I mean.

It all sounded accurate until you you accused Australians of using the term, “sweet as bro”, which is 100% New Zealand. You do know New Zealand is not part of Australia don’t you?

as an australian who took an interest in this kinda stuff i can add a couple more little things: 1. aussies do tend to emphasize second syllables over first. this i think came from the aboriginals because it's how they speak. an example would be 'Bathurst' which in english-english would be 'Baath-hurst' and in aussie-english as 'ba-Thurst' (capital in the middle to highlight emphasis). given a new word from another language aussies will tend to emphasise the second syllable by default and don't even notice we do it! 2. BOOZE. early (colonial) aussies did a lot of drinking, we even used rum as a currency for a while. all that drinking led to slurred speech being common, and kids being raised hearing it emulated it (even though the kids were sober, mostly). a few generations later and because we always sound like we're slurring our words we sound perpetually drunk, and are sometimes tricky to discern from speech if we are actually drunk (kinda like that 'fishbowl trick' from the movie 'the prestige', he walked funny all the time, we talk funny all the time). aussies on the whole are usually not drunk (at least not before 5pm, or 5 past 5 for late-starters). on another note, i met a german lady who said she found aussie-english easier than english-english because we both run our words together. german words often being a 'car-crash' involving several other words where the resulting pile-up becomes a new word, and aussies just running all our words together because with our lazy speech patterns we often don't finish one word before we start saying the next one. at the end of the day they come across similarly and she found that easier (also because at the end of the day - drinking).
