[QUOTE="Occams Barber, post: 76028276, member: 313365"] Accents are complicated and it would take mountains of linguistic data to establish the existence of discrete state/capital city accents. The only one which comes close to being identifiable is Adelaide. To my ears Sydney accents are more obvious when you watch the daily state-by-state Covid press conferences. Sydney politicians seem to share a broad accent where 'day' turns into 'die' and other vowels get similarly mangled. Melbourne accents tend to be less pronounced. I suspect what we know as Ocker is now more a socioeconomic and, possibly regional, thing rather than a rural/city split but accents ebb and flow with migration patterns. While I was born in Oz, both parents were from Manchester with an accent you could cut with a knife. To this day i still hesitate over 'u' words like 'cut' and 'butter'. OB [/QUOTE]
