The document summarizes key aspects of Australian English. It notes that Australian English has borrowed words from Australian Aboriginal languages, such as boobook and dingo. It was influenced by the influx of Irish and American immigrants in the 1800s, bringing words like "tucker" meaning food.

Vowel pronunciations also differ from Received Pronunciation as in "bad" and "tan" having long vowels.
Standard English compared to Australian English
Standard British English and Australian English share many similarities but also have some differences. Both originated from English spoken in the late 18th century, but Australian English developed its own distinctive vocabulary, pronunciation, and accent over time. It is influenced by words borrowed from early settlers and slang terms invented in Australia. While the core grammar and many words are the same, Australian English has a more nasal quality and rising intonation compared to the clipped British accent. Both dialects drop the "r" sound at the end of words and remain generally mutually intelligible.
