Australia is a vibrant multicultural society. they embrace diversity and speak many different languages. However, they also speak a unique Aussie 'slang'.
Australia is an island continent in the Southern Hemisphere, lying between Antarctica and Asia.
Australian English is the country’s official language and is the first language of the majority of the population. Australian English differs from other varieties of English in vocabulary, accent, pronunciation, grammar and spelling.
Australians also really like to shorten words by adding an ‘ie’ or an ‘o’ at the end, such as in “postie” for a postal worker and “ambo” for an ambulance. There are in fact more then 4300 word in Australians lexicon.
Australia is known for their irreverence. They do not take cursing seriously and it’s in their everyday use. They toss it around there diner table like salt
and pepper. They are quick to take to take the piss out of ourselves.
Australians don’t do that whole ‘solemn reverence’ caper particularly well.
It’s acceptable for Australians to throw one or two jokes into their boss at any time or place.
One concept Australians do hold in high regard is the idea of the ‘fair go’ the belief that everyone should be given an equal opportunity, which manifests itself in universal support for publicly funded education and healthcare systems. Australians pride themselves on that deep-seated egalitarianism, shaking off the pompous class system of the historic motherland.
