Yeah Mate we all speak english but we also have our aussie slang that foreginers don't understand. Quite funny sometimes!!!

guy0307

Yes, we do. However our English is a bit different than other types of English. It is more like British-English than American-English. However, it is the closest to New Zealand English.

Nah. Used to be English. Now they speak Stryan, (spelled Australian...still based on English)

Personally, I can't speak a word of English.

LOL! This question is a joke, right?

I mean, "Wat up dawg? Yo! Yo! Yo! Who your baby daddy?
Twinkle, twinkle...don't hate, participate!"

Anyway that reminds me of one time when I went grocery shopping (I live in the state of N.Y)....

I was in Wegmans one day and amongst other things, I bought a case of beer....I had to produce I.D. so I gave the girl, (who looked to be 15) my Permanent Resident Card, which states I am from Australia....she looked at me and asked me if I had to learn English BEFORE I moved to the States, because as she put it, "You speak the language so well!"

Ohhh dear me! (Shakes head).....

Yes and No. It could be said that Australia has a language of its own.

Although we commonly uses English words, we have our own words, phrases and lingo that are indisputably Australian. Only a galoot wouldn't know that we ozzies have our own lingo and it's a lot of hoo-haa and a load of old tripe that we don't know a dunny from a bottom dollar. More's the pity that the great Australian vernacular is disappearing from the language in order to communicate with our American friends without being diddled or seeming as silly as a two bob watch.

Aussie slang mate!

Do never forget that australia actually has two traditional langues.. of course one is english the australian prime language and then there is the aporiginal langue.. Of course aporiginal language is more then just one but just keep that in mind that australia has two.. Its good because its like this in china they speak chiniese and then they have thuis thing call mandarine... then comes other countries that might have it sympolise like that too just like africa.. they speak african but then there is another tradidional language of french african language.

waltzsingmatilda

Another yank.
Don't get sucked in and don't even answer "its" question.
If we didnt speak english how could we give you an answer.

J.D.S.

Of course, but it come from the British English (with words such as "mate" and "bloke") and in every way I know of, Australian spelling is the same as British spelling.
People here generally understand American English terms because of the number of American t.v programs here.
