	Australian English phonology - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Australian English is a non-rhotic variety of English spoken by most native-born Australians.
		Australian English long vowels mostly correspond to the tense vowels used in analyses of Received Pronunciation (RP) as well as its centralising diphthongs.
		Australian English lacks some innovations in Cockney since the settling of Australia, such as the use of a glottal stop in some places where a /t/ would be found, th-fronting, h-dropping, and l-vocalisation.
