With the English language being one of the major languages widely used all over the world, we the English language
learners have been dutifully studying this global language for many years; some have even attended English classes since
kindergarten. Broadly speaking, most of us are familiar with American and British English which have strongly dominated
and influenced the use of English throughout the world. However, as an old Hindi proverb states that ‘Language changes
every eighteen or twenty miles.’, the English language cannot escape from this fact; it has changed socially and regionally.
Australian English is another variety of English which has gradually been recognized. Although it diverged from British
English, many people find it hard to understand when they have a conversation with the Aussies (Australians) due to its
distinctive features of vocabulary and pronunciation. It might even sound humorous to the ear of a non-native of Australia.
Nevertheless, there is no harm in learning this variety of English. It may come in handy one day if you happen to be among
the Aussies.
Having spent a few years in Australia, I would like to take this opportunity to share some of the Aussie words and
phrases with you, readers. However, please bear in mind that this article is not written to promote any style of English in
particular or make a judgement about the correct form of English. Instead, it simply presents a unique style of language
used by Australian people. In this article, we mainly discuss the origin of Australian English, slang words and phrases as well
as pronunciation.
