Bài làm:

 Introduction:

The English language is the most commonly used language in the world Depending on where you live, learning Australian English or British English may be an option While there are many similarities, there are also some differences between Australian English and British English

Different words that have the same meaning

 Accents:

British settlers arrived in Australia to settle, with most of them coming from Ireland or London The Australian accent changed when Americans began to influence Australian English The Australian accent is well-known around the globe

 Pronunciation

While the British accent is based on vowel- and consonant phonics, Australian English

variants are:

other hand, this sound can be pronounced hard like in words as ‘way,’ or ‘mate.’

Australian English The ‘ing’ ending isn’t pronounced in full In words ‘’singing,’ or

‘jumping’ it is pronounced as ‘singin’ and ‘jumpin.’

The best examples are ‘pool,’ ‘cool,’ or ‘school.’ Aussie used to pronounce them as

‘pewl,’ ‘cewl’ and ‘skewl.’

 Invention:

British English was born out of a divided society into classes, which is still evident to-day This is less evident in Great Britain, but it still differentiates between British Eng-lish and Australian EngEng-lish Australia was founded by immigrants, and it is a society that is non-classist Australians began using Aboriginal words and names in the 19th century This could have impacted pronunciation, as it was a result of the Aboriginal people who have lived there

 The diminutive:

While English speakers in Britain will use whole words, Australian English speakers will use words in the diminutive These words, often shortened from British words, are often added with a vowel at the end This is the case with afternoon, which is British English Arvo is Australian English for the afternoon There are about 5,000 diminutive words used by Australians

 Spelling:

Australian English spellings are a mixture of American English and British English The spellings of shorter words are more similar to British spellings, while longer words are more American English

 Grammar:

Australian grammar is a mixture of American English and British English due to

at some of them:

Eng-lish

number 1.200, they say ‘twelve hundred’ rather than ‘one thousand two hundred.’

In Southern Australia it is used following the British system, so they first say the

‘river’ and then its name, like, for example, ‘River Darling.’ In other parts of Australia, people rather use the American system, so they would say ‘Darling River.’

 Vocabulary:

The first thing anyone notices is the difference in vocabulary Many everyday words are quite different in English dialects that it may sound like someone is speaking a

American and British English but has its own vocabulary as well

When you, for example, use the word ‘sanga,’ if you are in Australia, everyone will know what you are talking about In the UK, nontheless, people will look at you like

you are from another planet They wouldn’t know that the word ‘sanga’ is another word

 British Australian Lexicon of Words not used in British English:

key-boards The symbols for the British Pound and the Euro symbol are not present on American keyboards

While looking at the differences in Australian and British English accents appear to be the most apparent difference between the two English languages At Talkaru we have native teachers from Australia, the UK, the USA and Canada

 Conclusion

This article was focused on the differences, but you should remember that there are many more similarities between American, Australian and British English than

differ-ences We have noticed that Australian English is more similar to British English than American English when looking at pronunciation, spelling, and grammar But

Aus-tralian English has many resemblances with American English as well

To conclude, due to the later colonisation of Australia by the British, Australian English

is more similar to British English than American English Later the American accent be-came popular in Australia, affecting their language, which resulted in Australian Eng-lish looking like a mix of British and American EngEng-lish However, this is not entirely
