That is exactly right.Originally posted by GecT
As far as I know yep. I guess that's why to many untrained ears the accents sound similar. Between people being banished, indentured servants, slavery and just general migration/colonization, people tend to have more in common than they realize : o
Australia is basically made up from all the Worst People England had to offer (old ladies who stole bread and small children ect.)
This was after we came in and slaughtered all the native Aboriginies and took their land.
These days we have become very mutlicultural, which some people find bad but it is better to just ignore them.

English and Aussie accents aren't too hard to tell apart. I usually have trouble with Aussie, New Zealand, and South African accents....they sound closer.

is that even possible??
australians sound like they have a blocked nose, new zealanders... sound... normal and south africans sound english
to sound australian hold your nose closed and pronounce all your 'i's as 'ee'
six becomes sex...
it's true, i swear...!! :p
that's a "Ch" pronounced as a "K"

There are various twangs in the 3 accents that do make them quite hard to differentiate from one another at times, Ive had the experience of all 3 and to me the hardest one to get is the Southern african one as its quite gutteral and depending on the area they are from, its also very broad.
Though a close buddy of mine is from SA yet his accent is very slight and is almost Australian, but what you have described with the word 'Six' reminds me of friends Girlfriend from NZ, she sounded like she was saying 'sex' and also when she said 'cat' it sounded like 'cit' as in 'kit', shes from Christchurch.
Anyway Im no expert but I guess its how things are heard to the individual, so take take it as a personal shoot at Kiwi's
cheers

that would be why v and b get mixed up and same with l and r in the japan accent.
ask a malaysian to say "three trees" and it sounds like they say "tree trees"
to speak like a new zealander speak really fast (apparently new zealanders speak fast.... i think everyone speaks slow :p) and if you want the whole country accent talk in questions? sound like you're asking a question each time you speak? it's really quite annoying?

US: Beer
UK: Beeeeh
AUS, SA, NZ: Bee-AH
US: No
UK: No (somewhere between No and now)
AUS, SA, NZ: Pinched nose, almost like "New"
Hard to describe in words but I can usually do dead on impressions of various languages...SA, AUS, and NZ always throw me off.
On another note, I dated a girl from Sheffield years ago who was here in the US as a nanny...man, after a couple pints you couldn't understand a word she was saying—think "My Fair Lady."

Are you sure?
the problems with England are the huge variety of regional accents, so in most parts of the country its probably not like that
beeher might be more appropriate (at least with my yorkshire/lancashire cross)

I hate it when Americans say we dont speak english properly (a particular simpsons line springs to mind "Is that english?" "its british old boy"
I hate the Americans that think its their language, so what they say goes

Yeah, like I said...kind of difficult to explain with typed text. I was thinking of a softer "surrey" accent when I said "beeh"...hah...Originally posted by elephantinc
beeeeh?

if there's ever a bad sounding accent its the vietnamese one... everyone who had one sounds like a guy (including the girls)
