Compare two dialects of English side by side — where they're spoken, what they're called, and how they relate.
Strine
The most strongly-marked sociolect of Australian English, traditionally rural and outback in association. Famously caricatured as "Strine"; recognisable by its diphthongal vowels and broad nasalisation.
The English of the Cajun communities of southern Louisiana, descended from generations of French-English bilingualism. Distinguished by intonation, vowel realisations, and lexical borrowings from Cajun French.
Start with Broad Australian or Cajun English based on the community, country, or media you expect to use most.
