As a Norwegian, who grew up with a plethora region specific accents in my own country, then moved to Australia, I love this.
In her next video, she completely nailed the (female version of the) Australian English. Really had to laugh out loud at how she captured that essence. Genius.
Edit: It's certainly not the only one, all Australian females don't sound like this; it's just that she got this particular version of the Australian ones so right. I'm actually somewhat confused as to how to place it; back home you'd have the geographical regions and that's it. So I wonder if this Australian one is more of a "sociolect". If anyone has any info / pointers I'd love to learn more.

Once perhaps a California only thing, now something you hear from teenage girls/women in their 20s all around the US (probably due to Hollywood, in part).
- sundvor 10y agoYep, that sounds right - looked up some videos depicting this, and there's a similar pattern to them both. Cheers.

- jpatokal 10y agoYou're likely referring to the "bogan" accent, and yes, it's absolutely a sociolect: bogans are the Australian equivalent to US rednecks, except that bogans are essentially a poor suburban phenomenon. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bogan https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bogan https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Variation_in_Australian_English https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Variation_in_Australian_Englis... #Sociocultural_variation
