Australian English - Steve Irwin

This series was assembled by Pieter Groenendijk, student at the University of Sussex, for the course 'Practice of New Developments in Digital Media'.

In the project 'Global Dialects of the English Language', I attempt to map the journey of the English language throughout history, and the world.
This assemblage yields the following genuine dialects of English:

English English - Hugh Grant
Scottish English - Billy Connolly
Irish English - Dara O'Briain
New York English - Woody Allen
Welsh English - Joanna Page
Australian English - Steve Irwin
New Zealand English - Flight of the Conchords
South African English - Casper de Vries
Hong Kong English - Jackie Chan
Jamaican English - Bob Marley

Every viewer is encouraged to add their own real accents and comments.

The project map will be uploaded on:

I think this is the REAL aussie accent! Sometimes I think the Australian accent is similar to the cockney accent, kind of anyway!

[Mhor]

This is a Broad Australian accent - not as common as you think.

[NedKellyRidesAgain]

what accent?

[z3uspr0]

Australian english too difficult to hear wat they say. i meant it's very very strong or heavy

[zaniac100]

Steve Irwin's accent was very broad - broader than most real Australians.

Like the highlights in his hair, I suspect it was exaggerated for TV, since he was essentially a TV personality/ presenter.

Yeah, it kinda sounds like a mix of cockney and Bostonian.

[rudyeilabouni]

The Australian accent is kind of a mix of American and British accent!
