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.
Standard American English
The broad accent associated with national US broadcasting and most of the inland north and west. A reference point rather than a single regional variety.
Start with Broad Australian or General American based on the community, country, or media you expect to use most.
Shared language labels do not guarantee identical speech. Compare country coverage, aliases, and audio where available.
