[QUOTE="Occams Barber, post: 76028093, member: 313365"] Australian English has typically been divided (by linguists) into three categories - Broad, General and Cultivated. Broad is the typical rural Ocker. General is the way most of us speak, while Cultivated is more Malcolm Turnbull-ish. My feeling is that these groups are less relevant these days. Adelaide has its own version with an underlay of SE England. The Sydney accent is vowel destroying. Sydney also has a Western Sydney variant derived from native Lebanese/Arabic speakers. Melbournians have it about right. I haven't identified a Perth/WA twang yet but given it's distance from the rest of us a separate accent is inevitable. OB [/QUOTE]
