Australia's official language is English. Australians speak the same English across the nation-there are no regional dialects and only minor idiomatic and semantic variations between the States. Australians understand each other as easily as they understand a person from another country who speaks English. Why is then that English-speaking visitors to Australia have trouble understanding the Aussie accent?
There are many theories about the evolution of the Australian accent.
You will also find remnants of ‘cockney’,Irish, Scottish and Welsh influence in the Australian pronunciation of some words. Then, of course, there was a large influx of German, Greek and Italian immigration , which has also had an influence as well. Later the language has been strongly influenced by TV media from the USA.
Australian accents are different from various British ones:Australian«day»sounds like«die»;Australian«buy»sounds like«boy».
There are different Australian accents:Cultivated, General and Broad. In the«broad»variant the vowel shifts are particularly obvious. Australian English, especially its oral and not very educated variation is called Strine.
Australia
Australian English does not differ much from other forms of English, although some colloquial and slang expressions are unique. For example:«G'day»(Good day)means«Hello»and«Ta-ta»means«Goodbye». Australians are fond of inventing and using colloquialisms for every aspect of life. Sayings which have a regional origin are used widely. For example,«Albany doctor»,«back o' Bourke»,«Buckley's chance»are universally used.
There are many native languages which the Aborigines speak. One in every seven Australians older than five years speaks a language other than English at home. The most common languages are Italian, Greek, Chinese, German and etc.
Languages of Canada

Canada's two official languages are English and French . Official Bilingualism in Canada is law. English and French have equal status in federal courts, Parliament, and in all federal institutions.

Other provinces have no official languages Several aboriginal languages have official status in Northwest Territories. Inuktitut is the majority language in Nunavut, and one of three official languages in the territory.
