American English<br />has had a significant Irish input. Much of Australia had a lot of Irish convicts in<br />its early days and its English bears a noticeable Irish influence too, though <br />nowhere near the extent of North America. South Australia (where I am from)<br />did not have this and thus South Australian English is more directly descended<br />from official 19th century English English (so far as such a beast can be said<br />to exist).<br /><br />Brian.<br /></blockquote></body></html>
