There are differences already and in another 100 years you will be able to pick a person's city from the accent. Adelaide is already easy to pick. Perth and Brisbane are almost there. Isolation produces accents and accents are learned in the schoolyard, not from parents. Accents are not learned from TV or films either. Some vocabulary spills across cultures from TV but not accents.

Most people are sedentary and do not travel more than 200km from the place they were born in their lifetime. Probably no more than 10% of the population has been in an aeroplane. This produces isolation which, in turn, produces accents.

I used to be able to when I used lived in Australia. The Darwinians always seemed to have a deeper voice that made them sound as if they had a cold. People from Adelaide always seemed to have a high pitched nasal accent. Generally, the hotter and less windy the climate the deeper the voice became. The colder climates had a higher pitched voice. The windier places had a more nasal accent,

The Australian accent varies by region just like the American accent does. Canberra is more posh, Perth is very cockney and redneck - almost new yorkish, Brisbane is slower and laid back. If you live around Aussies from different regions for long, you can definitely tell the difference.

There are clear variations in accent and style of speech throughout Australia, including between cities and the country. However, to the visitor it will be hard to pick.

yep, they do, but you would have to spend alot of time with them to tell. they too have a 'posh' accent, a country accent and a 'normal' accent, and there are slight differences depending on where abouts they live. Pretty much everywhere has this.

i would not decide an accessory. yet once you prefer to sound British (primary English won Pronunciation), and in case you have have been given a pair of solid ears, only watch BBC and immitate the accessory and picture approximately the way it is not like the Austrailian accessory. That way, you will no longer could hassle approximately finding out on up the accessory. on the different hand, in case you haven't any longer have been given a solid pair of ears, you will not have the means to p.c.. up the interior of sight accessory that actual. the two way, you mustn't could hassle.

They all sound like they're from Wakefield (where the first convicts were from) or Lincolnshire.
