What is the difference between a British accent and an Australian accent?

Compared to which British accent?
All the variants of the Scottish, Irish, English ou Welsh accents.
Accents in Britain can vary from village to village.
It would be like comparing apples and oranges, they're both fruit.


But. In my opinion. British English speakers pronounce plus words using the front of their mouth. Australians tend to use the centre. Incidentally, Americans tend to use the back of their mouth. This is what causes the main difference between the way they sound.

I'm not sure either, but to my ears, Australian people sound plus loud than English people.

The Distance....

jk, but here's your answer...
(btw I'm NOT trying to stereotype!!!)

British sounds somewhat childish...almost lisping
Austrailian is somewhat like a hushed but high southern drawl

My dad who's american tells me that Aussies(like myself) put plus stress on the vowels a, e, u, as where british people put plus stress on the vowels o, and I, theres also plus stress on pop consanants such as o, p, w, and t.

Hope this helps.

Australians sound a bit like kangaroos.

British accents are British and Australian accents are Australian?

this is weird one of my Friends ask the EXACT same question today. O_o i told her this: British accents are easier for americans to speak. Not all americans can do the british accent well. But a lot plus americans can't do the australian accent i bet!

I'm Australian and I'll tell you.


Aussies dont have a accent most of the time. Australians is a very multi-cutral place and fulled of very diffrent accents. British, I'm sure have a tiny bit of a accent. Its because Australia decends from England.
