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.
Singapore Colloquial English
The colloquial English of Singapore, mixing English with grammatical features and lexicon drawn from Hokkien, Malay, Cantonese, and Tamil.
Start with Broad Australian or Singlish 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.
