- One Language, Three Accents! In this video, we're showing you the differences between American English, British English, and Australian English. First, we'll show you the difference between an American accent, a British accent, and an Australian accent by reading some simple words that are spelled the same in every country. Then, our native speakers will say different words that have the same meaning. And finally, our American, British, and Australian speakers will say words that sound the same, and have the same meaning, but are spelled differently.
This is a brief introduction to the differences in English pronunciation. For more language comparison videos, subscribe to Language of Earth on RUclips at / languageofearth .
Have an idea for a future video? Is there another language that could be used to show "One Langauge, Three Accents"? Let us know in the comments below!

@@norrinRadd2149 actually now I just think it sounds more like an evolved British 😀
It evolved from the East London Cockney accent and sounds nothing like an American accent, which is mainly non-rhotic.

@@squallleonheart3020facts
I grew up in Singapore and moved to Canada when I was 19 to attend university, and I was absolutely lost when the locals didn't understand the words I used. E.g. spectacles, queue, lift, car park, roundabout, traffic junction... And I thought I wasn't learning the proper English until I realized that English has evolved so much in the past hundreds of years.
🇺🇸 That's the spirit.
🇬🇧 Good lad.
🇦🇺 Onya mate.
We say roundabout in Canada.
You were learning the 'proper' English - ie the language of, guess where, England. All the others are dumbed down versions.
@@achitophel5852LOL, nope. Language is suppose to advance, especially based on geographical points. The environment, different customs and culture plays a large role in that. For example, in the U.S. Noah Webster, the inventor of the English dictionary in the U.S is responsible for simplifying alot of words to make better sense in spelling and pronunciation. Lets not sound xenophobe now, imagine how boring it would be if everyone everywhere spoke the same, and language never changed. Dialects especially…is what makes the different languages around the world alot more enriching.
Language naturally changes. As an English person myself, I hate bellends like you ruining our reputation. It's fine to be a patriot and to love your language, not to be a knob about it online.

Best comment ever
it's interesting to think how these differences developed 😊 thanks for showing us examples through your videos
I am a Japanese who makes ends meet as a translator. I love English very much though I have never lived anywhere in the Anglosphere. Actually I saw Julie Andrews acting and singing in The Sound of Music decades ago, which sparked my interest in English. I have loved it since then.
Originally I was interested in British English
but I love all kinds of English now. After all these three people speak the very same language with some differences in words and usage. My English has been somewhat Americanized over the last few decades (I am now 48 and I, like most of my Japanese peers of my generation, started learning
English when I became a junior high school student in Japan). I hope I can still love English as both a tool for my job and a language. Thanks a lot!
I'm an ESL teacher in Asia, and your English writing is fantastic! :)
That’s amazing considering the Japanese sentence structure and symbols are drastically different from English. Your grammar and spelling comes off as someone who speaks it as their primary language, that’s impressive.

Lol true😂
Fun Fact: American English is closer to old English used in the 1800s than actual English spoken in the UK
Yea I heard, cuz the bri-ish aristocrat decided to come up with a posher accent in London to distinguish themselves from the peasants and working class.
People repeating this over and over doesn't make it true haha. Whilst it's true that the stereotypical British RP accent is the result of significant change over the past few centuries, there are so many accents spoken in the UK besides that one. The west country accent for example, is likely to be much closer to older variations of spoken English than the 'standard' American accent. Not that it matters anyway lol, accents and language have always evolved with time and always will
i think our english is closer to scottish, lol
Maybe an early East coast accent. No one in Britain has ever sounded like a West coast valley girl 😂😂😂
@@benjaminmandeville4430 there is almost no linguistic similarities to old English as far as the young girls speech. One of the key things is ARU also known as "American rising inflection" it's one of the key linguistic pointers. It makes most people not from the west coast of America think that they are always asking a question, even if they're not. Many people are of the opinion that it's down to a Spanish language crossover with English in that area over 200 years ago

I was surprised to realize that even when using the same language, accents can vary. I personally prefer a British accent because it has an elegant sound to it. I want to understand why accents are different in the same language. It's incredible how, even though we all use English as a universal language, we use different words to express the same idea. Because I’m from Korea, I'm curious about how Koreans speak English with their accent.
it's very culturally dependent. Even "British English" is composed of many different accents (think Manchester, Liverpool scouse, London cockney, and "posh" Attenborough/royal accent, among many).
Evrensel dil Türkçedir😊
America has come to have an accent that is very influenced by the German accent. It sounds weird to say because German is very throaty language, yet were they to just read English words, it would sound very American accented. America is a melting pot of cultures, yet Germans had the most influence in the language. There is a video featuring all the US presidents speaking that they have recordings of, and only in the recent 60 years, has the accent we know today sort of become as it is. You can hear the presidents lose the British accent over time which is really cool, if you want to see the slow change.
@@Cashimathow cool, do you know the specific name of that video? Also, keep in mind geography, environment, the customs within each society and culture plays a role. Moreover, Noah Webster, the inventor of the dictionay in the U.S, simplified alot of words by tweaking the spelling and pronunciation. He is one of the reasons, why the spelling of some words in slightly different. Like “check” as seen in this video. Usually some people that are learning English prefer American English because it sounds the easiest, or the most neutral and the dominance the American film industry and the popularity American Hollywood movies provoke around the world. The music too.
The british's face is so self-satisfied. Lol. Like saying: "after all mine is the classic English!"
Mm i dont think so. Everyone in the video is smiling.

Love how Australians just sounds like surprised British people 😂
Their accents came from the first Australian settlers being drunk all the time
@vanya as an Australian I can absolutely 100% confirm the Australian accent is just drunk British people and convicts at the time, we learn about it history class and everything lmao 🤷
@vanya ok first off, buddy it’s not that deep, calm down please.
Second off, we’re both right about the origins of the language. Originally it started off with lots of convicts and lower class and eventually a few rich in NSW eventually caused more British people to move to Australia overtime and the accent adapted.
Idk what being drunk has anything to do with anti colonialism as if you’ve moved to pretty much nowhere for various reasons would you not get drunk all the time and fuck around? Not much else to do (getting drunk isn’t always a negative thing. I’m not saying it is.).
Also by denying the start of the accent’s full story it feels like you’re completely missing over the long history of abuse and neglect to Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islanders. British people weren’t invited here, they stole it and continue to make laws against the original owners of the land, not even making them citizens until 1967.
Anyways, none of that was meant to be mean spirited or anything but please take your bad attitude and clear lack of knowledge about Australian history ✨elsewhere✨
Thank you 🥰
P.S. also not reflective of what I have previously said but also yeah, fuck colonisation it’s ruined the lives of so so many people. 🥰

It doesn’t really matter if your accent has elements from multiple accents. Britain and the US both have many accents within themselves. Normally accents can understand each other without any problem, and the only thing an accent tells you is where someone lives. Slang between accents can get pretty weird but slang changes daily and new terms always pop up so I wouldn’t worry about that.
