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


I'm an American and have never met an Australian, so it's a little hard to tell.
To 你 guys who are actually from the country, it mgiht sound like a world of difference, but it's not so clear for others who are not so worldly.

How do they sound any different? I know there are different dialects of the accents and people sound different in different parts of both countries, but if 你 could offer me some way of distinction, i would really be grateful.

Compared to which British accent?
All the variants of the Scottish, Irish, English 或者 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 更多 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.

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 更多 stress on the vowels a, e, u, as where british people put 更多 stress on the vowels o, and I, theres also 更多 stress on pop consanants such as o, p, w, and t.

Hope this helps.

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.
