Australian Language and Sport by MichaelSherman

Australians love sport and they also love watching it. They have own barracks, wich means that they have their own way to cheer on a team like „Chewie on ya boot !“ which is a traditional taunt to a member of the opposing team who is trying to kick a goal. They even created their own sports like Football or Rugby.

The pronounsiation of Australian English is also a bit different because it is rothic. For example when you speek it, you often use the “t-flap” which sounds like a “d” (ɾ). When you do that sound your tongue goes all the way up to the roof of your mouth and touches it a little bit. When you say water in Australian English it sounds like wada and that’s because of another rule, the “a” sound. You often use this sound at the end of a word, ending with -ure, -er, -or, -ar, -our, -a and -re. But when you look at their barracks you often wonder what it means. I can only name some like “Carn” which means “Come on !” or “avagoyermug !” which means “Have a go, you Mug !”. Some words are not used in Australian English eather like “sweater”, so they usually use other word like “jumper”.

In my opinion Australian English is cool because you can speek it very chilled. And I also like that that they have so funny barracks like “avagoyermug !” and expressions too. The sports are cool too because you need to trust your mates and play with and for your mates to have a good match, so teamwork is a big must.
