Not everyone Down Under has the same Australian pronunciation.
Australia has many different dialects or accents, but in this episode we'll focus on the three primary types of Aussie accent that you're likely to encounter on your trip Down Under.
The General Australian Accent is used by people including actors Eric Bana and Hugh Jackman, as well as Olympic swimmer Ian Thorpe.
The Cultivated Australian Accent is used by people including actors Cate Blanchett and Geoffrey Rush, as well as ex-Australian Prime Minister Malcolm Fraser.
The Broad Australian Accent is used by people including ex-Australian Prime Minister Julia Gillard, actor Paul Hogan, and conservationist Steve Irwin.
This video won't cover every kind of Australian dialect or Australian accent. There're many others including the wog accent, bogan accent, and indigenous accent, but we'll cover these in a future episode!
Which of these Australian accents do you find the nicest to listen to, and which do you find the hardest to understand?

If people get upset/angry, they slip into a "raw version" of their language in basically everywhere. I think it has to do with the fact that "lower class" versions and regional dialects often contain more slurs and coarse/rough words. Which are usually avoided at general and "posh" styles of a language. What I always think amazing, is that the English of White Americans differ so less from each other. Except for Southerners. People from the East Coast (accents like that of NY/NJ are dying out), to the West Coast all kinda sound very similar. A person from Milwaukee sounds just like a person from Las Vegas. While for example in the UK, you'll sometimes get a different accent if you just go from one village to another. The results of colonialism in America is exceptional anyway. At the whole Americas, they only speak three languages. With English in the North and Spanish and Portuguese in Central and South America. HUNDREDS of languages died out and today you'll get around at the "new world" by just learning/knowing those three languages. Here in Europe, you can have a different language every couple hundred miles. Going from Poland, through Russia (Oblast Kaliningrad), Lithuania, Latvia and Estonia. It's the same thing in some Asian regions. But I think that only in sub-Saharan Africa and Europe do you have so many different languages on such a small territory/languages per km²/square miles. Well, that's it with my half-novel...

Agreed. I get teased particularly at work for having my natural accent very much akin to Cate Blanchetts and often times get mistaken for my pronunciation for some as being British, American or Canadian for the emphasis I put on certain vowels depending on the word as I have a real love for expression through words and don't like them being butchered. However, that being said, if I drink or am surrounded in a relaxed environment by persons speaking with a broad accent, I find I can slip into more of a general accent but with a few words here and there staying from my normal accent which is just bizarre. Also found when I travelled to America I would subconsciously exaggerate my accent to be a lot stronger than it actually is which, though I love and have pride in my country, was a little embarrassing because I fully did not mean to but literally couldn't help it. Someone would start talking to me and suddenly any word ending in "ter" was "tah" instead and I'd use lazy, shorthand versions of things like "servo" and "maccas". My friend (also Australian) would do it too and than we'd get back to our hotel room and be speaking completely normally. Very strange.

+Miss Sass I completely agree with everything you say, except I sound more posh the more I drink! (I think it's an attempt to overcompensate for slurring, lol) However I do get mistaken for English quite frequently when sober as well... my late Mum had picked up quite the RP pronunciation when living in the UK in the late sixties and that's what I heard growing up. I definitely over-do the Strine when talking to my cousins in the US though!

The Aussie accent has also changed quite a bit in the last 40 years. If you see footage from back in the 60's and 70's, the accent was very strong compared to now. Even in "Dogs In Space" the '86' film set in Melbourne, the accents are bizarrely strong. We seem to be toning down our accents for some reason.

I’m Aussie my accent is a mix between general and broad. I grew up in a rural area but it wasn’t too far inland so I sustained a general accent too. My accent flips between the two depending on my emotions and who I’m talking to. If I’m in a casual setting I go bogan but if I’m in a professional setting my accent flips to general. It also flips when I’m angry I go full bogan when I’m angry.

Thus Spake Vespasian : I find it interesting that you say that. I have observed that also in the USA. It seems that regional dialects and accents are becoming less noticeable here. And more people are speaking like midwest radio announcers rather than with a traditional regional accent. Also a number of expressions that I have always associated with either British or Australian are no longer uncommon here. For example, when I first heard the expression “no worries“, it was from an Australian movie. Now, my son and his friends use the expression all the time. It has been my personal observation that our common English language is becoming more globalized. I would love to see a serious scientific study on the matter.

I grew up on a sheep station in the 'Outback' and have lived in England for 15 years. I naturally revert each of these accents depending on who I'm with and level of anger! I think the author has potentially missed a category though. First nations people and people from towns with mixed communities often speak with soft consonants and words rolled together. It's pleasant to listen to. I do love it when Aussie's need subtitles for other Aussies! Wouldn't life be boring if we all sounded the same :)

Papus Magnus Yeah, we understand how society works. Maybe make your Adelaide specific essay clear, instead of concluding with how what the body of what you said relates to all cities. You ended up going on an unrelated tangent. What we were talking about is how people from Adelaide tend to be labelled with a 'posh' accent. I am from a very low socioeconomic area in Adelaide and still maintain a distinct accent - not because I'm from a higher social class, but because I'm just from Adelaide. I'm assuming that you are labelling our accents as region specific within Adelaide, but that is obviously true for everywhere. Adelaide on a whole retains a more crisp accent, and we don't all claim to be an 'Adelaide elite'.

Papus Magnus I didn't realise they had a report option for 'discussion/disagreement'. Either way before I read that you reported me, sigh, I actually agree with you. However, you did come off with an arrogant and presumptuous tone, and assumed that we/I knew nothing of how society hierarchy works. Bare that in mind, and don't bother reporting people for a discussion unless they're being abusive. Report bullies, not people who challenge your motive or assumptions.

This is a good leaping off point. Every part of Australia has these base accents, but there are definitely regional variations too that are hard to describe in writing. There is a definite Britishness to Perth and Adelaide accents. There is also regional variations on the way people say pool, school, dance, castle in different parts of Australia that can help you place a person’s background if not actual origin. There are also hyper local socioeconomic class based accents like the posh Balmain accent. There is also an equivalent accents for posh Melbournians (the actors from Kath and Kim do a great version of this with their other characters Prue and Trude). In general though accent difference is something more obvious to a local. I think our accent has been homogenised because our population isn’t that big and there is a lot of moving interstate for work. I’m from Canberra where a good chunk of the population is from interstate and I think it has the effect of averaging out our local accent. In addition to accent differences there are word usage differences like beer glass sizes (pot, schooner, midi etc.) and what you call a swim suit (cossie, bathers, togs, swimmers etc). But for the most part people will be able to cope with a different word usage.

Growing up in the 70s and 80s we were encouraged to use a cultivated accent, at least in formal situations. It was certainly the “newsreader accent” of the time. I noticed this slipping away by the mid-90s. Although I can happily use and listen to the other accents in real life, TV news and radio broadcasts grate on my ears.

Makes sense, as that's where most of our ancestors came from! I travelled to the US a few years ago and was chatting with a man in New York who commented that he liked my Irish accent. I laughed and said, "oh no, not Irish .. I'm Australian". A few minutea later as we finished talking, he said "I really loved your Irish accent" 😂 ...

Now that Steve Irwin has passed away, Howard/Keating/Gillard/Hawke are all gone, and Paul Hogan has lived in the US for decades, you rarely hear the broad accent in the media anymore. However, one of the most popular celebrities who speaks with this accent, and it's arguably the strongest broad Australian accent you will ever hear, is Sophie Monk. It's so strong that to me it's unbearable listening to her talk. Ray Meagher (Alf Stewart on Home and Away) also speaks with a similar accent.

I am Australian, I grew up in Sydney and for the most part, I reckoned I would be boxed in the cultivated accent. However, I did my undergraduate at Imperial in London and for grad and post in the USA. I've been out of Australia for a little longer than 20 years and my accent has most certainly changed. A form of adaptation I supposed, speaking to Americans for the most part I have found myself flattening my accent so Americans and non-English speakers can understand me better. One funny thing however is that if I go home my accent reverts back to what it was. I don't do it intentionally, it just happens. I am not even aware of what I am doing until I get back to the USA and talk to my mates and they look at me with a weird look immediately followed by you went home didn't you. One more thing I've met people back home who switch their accents depending on what the situation demands too. My Dad is a good example he is a lawyer and for 90% of the time he speaks with a very cultivated accent but occasionally I have heard him speak like a total bogan ha ha.

I tend speak with a general accent, but with hints of English, italian, Māori and indigenous (4 people/cultures I’ve grown up in). I think also you slight regional variants as well with pronunciation of certain words.

My accent takes a journey through all 3 depending on the environment. My Dad was raised middle class and spoke with a cultivated accent at all times. Everyone else I grew up around spoke with the other 2 accents. I grew up in the Northern Territory and you’ll find that a lot of non-aboriginal people speak with some level of aboriginal accent here too. Especially if you grew up playing a lot of sports. At the very least a few aboriginal words thrown in.

As a 60 yo Australian and speaker with a “general” Australian accent similar to yours, I’ve noticed over the last 20-30 years a distinct swing of the accent amongst young general accent speakers towards a “posher” tone with the A and E vowels, particularly among city dwellers. The funny thing is that unlike your examples of Rush and Blanchett, they just sound like they’re faking it! Lol. But that of course is just to my ear I’m sure. What I’m actually hearing is no doubt the natural evolution of an accent which from my extended perspective just sounds funny.

I think it's just that Rush and Blanchett are classically trained theatre actors, and have been trained to enunciate clearly enough to be heard in the very back theatre rows. To some people this may come across as 'posh' when they're really just speaking very, very clearly.

I grew up in regional SA, I received a decent education but still naturally developed a really broad Aussie accent. Moved to Adelaide for university and found that I stuck out like a sore thumb amongst the more cultivated urban accents. Doesn't take people long to figure out that I'm not from around here hahaha

@@jimmyoakeslift4374 funny that. I was going to write something similar. When I joined the Army I was often asked if I was from England. I’m a product of the Adelaide Hills too. I think SA has a much more rounded dialect than the eastern staters. I always found most of them spoke much more nasally than I did. I know a lot of it had to do with my mother always correcting us with our enunciation too. Maybe they grew up with it part of their education. But we were never allowed to speak broad Aussie.

I have the cultivated accent, I sound very similar to Cate Blanchett. My mother grew up partly in England and partly in various expat English schools before coming here at the age of 13. My father lectured in literature (but did not own a yacht, as suggested here) 😅 I am frequently asked by Australians if I am English, and people with English as a second language often tell me I am easier to understand than other Australians. Interestingly, when I went to the UK, I was immediately picked as an Australian 😂
