Australian English Glossary from A to Zed- Travelogue - Travel Library. Submitted by: David Stybr Submission Date: 14th Feb 2005 Much has been written about the differences between British English and American English. French French and Quebec French have a similar relationship. However, nothing quite matches Australian English for its lively colourful phrases. Some words and expressions are quite naturally taken from British slang. In addition to the slang, Australian pronunciation can be peculiar. Most obvious in Australian speech are the 'I' sound for 'A' and 'Ah' for 'R'.
