I’m Canadian and I’ve lived in Australia for two years and now I’m on my second year in New Zealand and I’m sorry but that’s not true. I’d say that there is a bigger difference between the Aussie and the Kiwi accent than the Canadian and US one. But maybe I can hear it because I’ve been in it for 3 years 😂

I think New Zealanders have more of a calm and relaxed accent and Australians have more hype and energy in their accent, that’s how I’m able to tell the difference

The think about asking if someone is from New Zealand because an Aussie wouldn't be offended about being called a Kiwi, but a Kiwi might be offended about being called an Aussie is so true. When we were checking out a potential school for my daughter in England, the nun who was showing us around said: "I think there's an Australian boy in grade 1" and took us there. "Stand up, Matthew. You're an Australian, aren't you?" Matthew instantly became quite cross, crossed his arms and said crankily "I'm not an Australian! I'm a New Zealander!" it's a bit like the Canada-USA thing.

In a very general and overall sense, I would probably describe the differences between both of your accents like this: the Australian accent seems to elongate or draw out sounds a bit more, as if its coming more from the back of the mouth and the New Zealand accent seems to shorten sounds a bit more and pronounce them further forward in the mouth (which is probably why some words like books sounded American as we push everything forward in America too). I also thought the New Zealand accent had an overall softer quality to it while the Australian sounded almost twangy. In that sense, it very much reminded me of the differences in Southern accents in the United States in that way. In the States we have Southern accents that are almost soft and breathy like the Southern gentry in the deep South. But then there's also more twangy Southern accents as you go a bit further west.

+Madeline Daunt Awesome! As a Kiwi myself, it's not uncommon for people to conflate the pronunciation of our _"I"_ and _"U"_ sounds. I'd argue that us New Zealanders are definitely a little more lazy than our Auzzie cousins concerning the pronunciation of our vowels, but our _"I"_ sound as in _"Fish and Chips"_ is pushed far more to the front and bottom of the mouth, as opposed to drawn to the back and up towards the roof of our mouths which is how we pronounce our _"U."_ Essentially one is a far lazier pronunciation of the other. That's why it's often said we say _"Fush and Chups"_ but us Kiwis are completely ignorant and deaf to any _"U"_ sound in it because the nuances ARE and do become obvious when ACTUALLY pronouncing anything with _"U,"_ and so we'll deny it till the cows come home because of the difference I stated earlier 😉😜 See 8:15 _"Short U"_ for example.

Omg, when I went to New Zealand as a German with mediocre English skills, I was so confused, like "Why do they make everything a question?" Only after the first 2 months I got used to it, kind of. 😂

I've never heard our accent as charming before haha!

As a Kiwi I can distinguish quite easily between an Aussie accent and a Kiwi accent. My best description is the Aussie accent tends to have more of a 'naizly' sound to it and depending on where your from in Australia it can be more heavily accented than other parts. The Kiwi accent is different depending on where your from (North or south island) and it could be because of a number of things including culture. For example a European New Zealand girl isn't necessarily going to sound the same as a Maori girl or a pacific island girl and that can be because of a number of things from different lingo, different ways of talking and other things. For example with Maori and pacific islanders we would use sentences in a greeting like "chur brother" or "hows it going bro" or "sup cuzzy" or something along those lines. Where as our European citizens (not all) would greet in a different manner by saying something like "hey!" or "hi how are you" some will say "gidday mate" it really depends on the person and how they were brought up and the type of lingo they use. If you were raised in the 'hood' your gonna sound alot different to someone raised in beverly hills if you know what I mean.

I kinda can tell Australians and New Zealanders apart when I talk to them but I wanted to study detailed differences between them so this is a good video for me!!

Love both accents and the enthusiasm is awesome

Even as a Kiwi, sometimes when I listen to people on TV, especially sports commentators where they're both Aussies and Kiwis, sometimes it can take me a couple of sentences to work out who is who. Of course the major difference is the short 'i' sound (like the 'fish and chips' thing). But another major difference I find is the different way we pronounce some A's. For example, Aussies pronounce the A in 'dAnce', advAnce or circumstAnce like the A in 'trap' /æ/, whereas Kiwis pronounce them like the A in 'bra' /ɑː/. Another thing I notice is certain words with OOL in them. Us Kiwis say it as one syllable, whereas Aussies say it as two syllables. You can see an example of this at 2:57, where Morgan says "cool" like 'koow' and Candice says "school" like 'skoo-wel'. Back when I was young we had an anti-speeding ad on TV presented by Australian race car driver Peter Brock who said "only a fool breaks the 2 second rule" and he said it like "only a fewel breaks the 2 second rewel".

Thanks for clearing that up. My need to know started when Lucy Lawless mentioned that in doing My Life is Murder, that she had to do an Australian accent and I thought she was Australian. Didn't realize she is a Kiwi and at that time didn't know it was that different. As I am a big fan of her and her show, I am also a big fan of Brokenwood. I'll be listening more closely. Thanks again.

Thanks ladies this really helped I'm a Kiwi reading for the role of an Aussie for a TV show - so much appreciated Sheila's lol

This was really well done! As a Kiwi North Islander, I can definitely tell Morgan is from the South Island with “the bad apple” and “let’s gets the parents a present” phrases. “Bear” and “beer” are almost indistinguishable in the SI. I’ve noticed a couple of common “tells” with the Aussie accent, but they may be regional ones: Here/year are pronounced heaaah/yeaaah with the second syllable stretched much further than Kiwi. The word “aitch” (h) is often pronounced “haitch” i.e, an h appended to the front. Some Brits pronounce it this way, and it may indicate Australia has more Brit ancestry from these areas than NZ does. This one is like fingernails on a blackboard to me :)

Very interesting listening to this as a Canadian. Sometimes, one of you would say something as Canadians do, and sometimes, the other did. Interesting!

YES! I guess it must be those British origins. It's interesting to see which ones have stuck in each country!

Great! Thanks girls.

So much fun I just discovered you!

Well you two are just really cute and fun! After watching this im hearing how each of you sound like a mixture of how I sound..some vowels I,say is like the kiwi and some vowels are like the aussie…hmmmmm im from the midwest usa….state of michigan…west michigan, lower peninsula!

Am from India and have always admired Aussie and kiwi accent. It was quite informative and also I've never realised the necessity of subtitles wen you guys speak unlike the British English where I badly need one especially the ones of North west England. Hey Candice, I have a suggestion for you if possible can you please tell us the differences between Aussie and British accent? And do you have any British friend like Morgs? If you have, then pl do one

As an Aussie I can confirm there is a huge (hyoooge 😉) difference between Australian and pretty much all of the English accents. I actually think we lean more towards the Irish accent (although still very different) more than any English accents I've encountered. My theory would simply be that Australia has had a very large population of Irish people here basically since it was first colonised by Europeans. Australia is actually home to the third largest population of Irish people outside of Ireland which makes total sense to me.

3:58 lol the picture and the cows voice crack were hilarious

The ‘deck’ really got me 😂 I love our Kiwi brothers and sisters

3:23 the New Zealand apples comes out more like epples. As a South African, the New Zealand sounds more flat like ours but we don't say epples. Our i like in fish is between Aus and NZ. Aus = feeeesh NZ = fush OK so in South Africa you do get a LOT of different English accents so it's hard to give an exact example.

Fascinating. I’ve often thought that an Australian accent sounds like it came from a London accent. Now I realise that the New Zealand accents sounds like it has its roots in a Scottish accent.

Great video guys!! Europeans, Irish, welsh, mainly the brits and scots even the aussies settlers settled down in the south island of nz in the turn of the late 18th century.... I wouldve picked candice as a brit and morgan as a scots, if that makes sense.

You’re correct as the Aussie accent is derived from cockney accent. They are very similar!

From New Zealand. I went to my sister's wedding in Brisbane as a teenager, and I was asked to find a pin by her very Australian bridesmaid. To this day, some 35 years later, I can still swear that she was asking for a writing implement. There's a significant difference in pronunciation of words such as "dance". A typical Kiwi will double up on the a: dān-ce or darn-ce, while an Australian typically says it as dan-ce, with a short a

In Nashville our most famous New Zealand born resident is Keith Urban. Country music fans from around the world think he's from Australia and not true. He is a wonderful person and came up the hard way playing small pubs in Australia (his words.) Stardom was not given to him in a random tv show like American Idol winner (Carrie Underwood.) He has been in America since the early 90's and I became a fan when he sang the AMERICAN national anthem at a national broadcast of the Stanley Cup Final here in Nashville. First, i had never seen a foreigner sing our anthem (just not done in this country) and to top it off he performed it better than any American singer. And we have some good ones here. The performance is on KZread. His accent does not seem to have changed much so not sure what you think of his speech... ; ))

I LOVE Keith Urban! Yeah his accent tends to stay pretty strong. Some people just don't lose it, no matter how much they travel.

Love you mogzy love that kiwi accent aye. Pai te mahi

This was very sweet!

Morgan mentioned that she does a big smile on the short 'e's. By contrast, on the short 'i's, she didn't pull the corners of her mouth back as Candice did.

Bruh I love candices laugh.

‘Fish’ as ‘fush’ is the giveaway as you do sometimes hear Aussies say ‘fair’ as ‘fear’ and even on rare occasions ‘pin’ and ‘bitter’ (or ‘bidder’) for ‘pen’ and ‘better’ like the Kiwis do. Where in Australia does this ‘e’ to ‘i’ trait appear?

Gao in Aus accent vs Go as a kiwi. More top of mouth for Aus and more forward for kiwi. Morgs does sound quite Australian at times.

I am an American who is a lifelong Anglophile. Unlike most of my fellow Yanks I can generally tell the difference between English and Australian accents. That said, I generally have to ask if someone's accent is Aussie or Kiwi. This video was quite helpful and I hope to visit both countries some day. Thank you for uploading!

If you can't tell the difference between a British and an Australian accent then you have no hope. That's not something to brag about. Australia has had a distinguishable accent for over 150 years

When you discussed the short e sound, Candace said the Kiwi short e sounded like the Aussie short i. This through me off, because to my American ears Candace's short i sounds to me like an long ee sound. After listening to the Aussie short i sound again and again, I came to the conclusion that the Aussie short i is sort of like a hybrid short i and long e (ee) , but without paying close attention I hear "ee" [feesh and cheeps]

Most Kiwi accents sound like western and plains American English except for a few sounds.

As a Brit this is really hard! The difference with "e" is most noticeable to me I think. The lips thing is useful to know too. It's not as hard as telling the difference between American and Canadian though, at least for me personally.

This is what I understood. Australian accent sounds like somebody is from the south of the United States, but has our accent. And the Kiwis are from the Yanks, and they too have our accent.

candice's accent is big time mellowed out i'd guess so she can be understood. i lived in oz and there are people down there that have way thicker accents (down there they call it "broad") that can definitely be hard to understand if yer not used to it.

how about the difference in the pronunciation of dance and chance and the two ways of saying Sydney? i.e. dance as in dan- ce for Oz and darnce for Kiwi, Seednee for Oz and Sid knee for Kiwi

Very fun and interesting video. I was noticing too that some of the Kiwi pronunciations sound closer to us Yanks. 🤓 From an American perspective, the Aussie accent is more consistent. The Kiwi accent has greater variation. It is either much more different or quite close. “Yes” is the one that always makes me smile. 😊

Could you do something on Utensils and Vessels? For instance I once heard a lot of Coffee ☕🌞 being referred to as a Jar of Coffee ☕! I meant to say Pot of Coffee ☕! I did!

Having visited Adelaide (from NZ) nearly 2 years ago, I fully get why you're keen to do one on wine. Loved the video :-)

I swear when Kiwis say "fish and chips", it sounds really similar to my Scottish accent. Must be all those sheep and hills to blame! To me, Aussies sound like they're saying "feesh and cheeps".
