	Australian English Summary
		Australian English began to diverge from British English soon after the foundation of the Colony of New South Wales (NSW) in 1788.
		The so-called "Americanisation" of Australian English — signified by the borrowing of words, terms, and usages from North American English — began during the goldrushes, and was accelerated by a massive influx of United States military personnel during World War II.
		An important aspect of Australian English usage, inherited in large part from Britain and Ireland, is the use of deadpan humour, in which a person will make extravagant, outrageous and/or ridiculous statements in a neutral tone, and without explicitly indicating they are joking.

		Bendigo, a town that developed as a direct consequence of the gold rush, became known as a haven for criminals of many varieties.[14] The term 'Diggers' became synonymous with morally corrupt young men, and gold was considered the ultimate evil.
