Australian English, broad


The features of broad Australian English are extensions and continuations of features and processes present in the more general form of English in this country. In particular the diphthong shift down and back is more pronounced, e.g. tray would be [træi] rather than [trɛi] (general Australian English). There are other features such as a tapped realisation of /t/ in intervocalic position, e.g. later [lɛiſə].
